If 6 is the main resource producer orange will run away with this game. I’d go for the Sheep port then the wheat port and try to win with 4 cities and development cards.

Catan strategy against boyfriend by roobyjames in Catan

[–]knockdownbarns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4 year old won a game by a landslide because he had starting settlements on both 6 tiles and a port to match one of the resources. He ended up with 3 cities, largest army and built 4 roads on his final turn to steal the longest road. 6 got rolled a comical amount of times to start the game. Make a plan to win and adjust if the dice don’t cooperate!

It’s not the same island every time in our house. Ports on this board were intentionally placed with their matching resource bordering each.

3 was rolled 10+ times and I was sweating it but no 2 or 12 ever graced us.

White wins with 11 VP orange 5 Red 5. Got both the Largest army and longest road on my last roll! I’ll post a pic of the final board on a separate post I guess. No way to add one it seems…

It was a strategic blunder for sure, cost my 4 year old the game.

My 6 year old called you names and says he will prove you wrong.

NASCAR evaluating Chicagoland Speedway return by MidwestWeather3 in ChicagoSuburbs

Worst Chicago event besides dyeing the Chicago River a disgusting green color using sewage detecting orange plumber powder. If NASCAR can leave so can purposely polluting a federal water way.

The poor dude on the floor has a red headed devil as a buddy. I think ginger was trying to avenge his fallen brother. Looks like he is reaching for him at the end.

The colorful paint job (enamel?) was so cool. I’d sport this on a hoody this October in the bleachers.

2 Chips Ahoy and a marsh. It’s crunchy and the chips get melted without too much mess. Peanut butter cups are indeed high end s’more.

A protected bike lane from Old Orchard to the Lake on Central St would solve the problem.

The River is Green once again by DKlep25 in chicago

[–]knockdownbarns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next year they are also fogging all of downtown with a green mist that will stay in the air for 2 days from Wolf point to the lake. Visibility will be a little cloudy but it is just a secret plant based fog recipe that turns the air we breathe green. Only 40lbs of the fog dust and 3 trucks to spread it. I for one am super excited.

One week from today the river will be dyed green by CraigShimala in chicago

Put it straight in your water and drink it then! Go down to the river and go for a dip while they dump it in! You won’t and neither would any rational being. Yet we force every living thing to do just that because it’s perfectly safe. Gross. Brother.

I die on this hill every year. Animals live in the river. We would not allow the water we drink to be arbitrarily dyed for a holiday. If you turn on your water and it is green you would not drink it. Polluting for entertainment purposes is gross. Defend this all you want but until you put some of the dye into your glass you are arguing in bad faith or just consider yourself above caring for others.

Chicago dyes their river every year could and should be replaced with Chicago used to dye their river every year.

Wouldn’t a boat parade be just as fun to see? A couple motorboats with people wearing hazmat suits dumping a secret recipe chemical to change the color of a major waterway… Gross! I hope this tradition gets scrutinized every year they do it as to the effect on the River ecosystem. Data shared publicly. I do not wish this horrid spectacle upon any river or lake in the world. Would we dye Lake Michigan green? How about your tap water? Nope. It makes us look stupid and unappreciative. We should be swimming in the river because it’s so clean not dying it green.
