Winning at Settlers of Catan
Settlers of Catan is a great board game to play with a large group of people. There are many tips and strategies that you can use to put the odds of winning in your favor.
1.Expand
As soon as you are playing the game you want to expand it by building more roads and cities. When you build a ton of settlements and cities you will be able to get a ton of resources. Remember the more you have the more likely it will be that you get some resource every turn, which is always helpful.
By building roads as well as cities you can also create the longest road and which will give you a couple of victory points.
2.Don’t be a jerk, unless you are about to win
There are a couple ways to be a jerk to people in this game, most notably the infamous Robber and the Monopoly card. This is a game where you depend on other people, or other civilizations to help you trade with and to not turn against you. If you stab them in the back they will definitely remember it next time they have the robber.
Sometimes you have to put the robber somewhere and you aren’t going to hurt yourself so there are always exceptions to this rule. Likewise you don’t want to play the monopoly card unless you are going to win, or get very close to winning because of it.
3.Look for ports
Ports are always fun. They allow you to trade resources without having to rely on other people. At some point in the game it is probably your best interest to head over to a port, especially if it is a port that allows you to trade a resource you have a lot of.
