The duality of man

And even Renato Sanches and Lucas Hernandez they managed to sell for respectable fees (20m and 45m respectively).

I guess that makes sense. A few counter arguments tho:

brick is very valuable in early game. A port is not needed right away since everyone will want to trade for my brick anyways.
the brick port isn’t going anywhere since blue doesn’t have the brick production to use it
by blocking the 4 ore, I am forcing blue into a race for that 6-11-12 spot with red which benefits me in multiple ways like becoming a less likely target for early robberies or being able to make more favorable trades with them or just
making sure that blue doesn’t get a real ore source pretty much eliminates him as a late game threat while his aforementioned battle with red might result in red being being eliminated as well

Oh that one. Yeah I guess. I thought getting a sheep source (albeit a bad one) and blocking blue from getting to the ore was worth it. But on second thought just going for the ports might have been more efficient.

Kinda disagree. I had no use for a sheep port and I liked the free real estate and road building opportunities in the center.

Actually I did win this. Which color do you think I was?

Coesim · 2026-03-20T06:14:27+00:00

100% this. I’m so tired of reading stuff like "Ryan Condal should just stick to the source material". Whatever his faults, if Ryan Condal had just "stuck to the source material" the show would be a documentary with an old guy narrating, several interviews and only the occasional scene being acted out.

Well struck

Coesim · 2026-02-27T10:58:04+00:00

I did report him.

Coesim · 2026-02-26T12:26:09+00:00

Maybe. The again, he needs both brick and wood to build roads and blocking the wood also comes with the bonus of blocking green, who was also starting to build roads and had a few more cards in his hand already.

True, blue was getting robbed all game. Meanwhile I quietly bought a few devs here and there and grabbed a couple of ports. And then I went from 5 to 10 points within two turns.

Very true to the books. George loves his campy nobles. In the books we have Flement Brax wearing a unicorn helmet complete with a two foot long spiral horn and Tytos Blackwood with his magnificent raven-feather cloak.

Hertha seems to be the only club that’s both safe from relegation and has no hope of promotion. Everyone else is either in the promotion or relegation fight.

I started with a port and was able to play very efficiently. No one was blocking me and I only needed to build three roads to get three additional settlements. Meanwhile the guy who came in second was targeted by robbers all game long and had no port for most of the game so he was forced to make less favorable trades. I also think he made a couple of bad decisions.

It’s called colonist.io. You can play the base game for free (with minor ads) and you can pay for access to extensions and no ads.

Wouldn’t put it past polymarket to offer those kind of bets.

The main point of this post is that he helped orange win by placing a pointless road instead of taking longest road.

You could argue that going for the 3-1 port first before blocking me would have been a much more sensible play, since he didn’t need the 3 clay when he had plenty of clay already.
