  • @mellow3995

    At 49:15, I'm surprised NL didn't trade 3 wheat for a stone and bet on the 1 in 4 chance of winning by getting a victory point card.

      I’m surprised he didn’t try an trade a sheep for a wood or brick to build a road and a settlement on the 8-3. The. Probably cost him the game.

      The better play would be to try and trade for a wood and a brick in order to build a road and settlement on the 8 3 wood.
      He wins this turn if he gets the trade and has a good chance of winning next turn with the right rolls or trading with other players/port next turn. Red could only win if their 2 development cards were victory points. This means that there is either 1 victory point card in the whole deck or even 0 victory point cards if any of the two other players’ development cards were victory points, meaning the chances are way below the normal 1 in 5 odds (5 victory point cards out of 25 development cards). So northernlion would have been very unlikely to win from buying a development card and should have probably tried to build a road and settlement.
      Also red only had 3 cards and northernlion traded red a road in return for a wheat allowing red to build his road and settlement and win. So northernlion shouldn’t have traded red the road (wood and brick) which allows red to sun and should have tried to get a road traded to himself. If northernlion didn’t trade a road for a wheat (where the road allowed red to win), he wouldn’t have had the 4 wheat to 3:1 in order to buy a development card. So trading the road for a wheat in order to buy a development card is a bad play as you have a very small chance of getting a victory point (less than the regular 1 in 5) if red has 2 victory point cards which is the only time it matters and by trading red a road you massively increase the odds of red winning as red builds a settlement. So yeah, northernlion should have tried to trade for a road and a settlement for himself instead.

    I'm not sure if any of you have noticed but below each of the resources in the "bank" the question marks represent how many cards are left. Sort of simulating how a stack of cards looks when playing over the board. You don't know exactly how many are left but you can visually see an approximation.
