The finals of the first Seafarers season in King of Catan became an instant classic, between four of the most recognizable Catan players in online catan. This video contains tips from a CU top 100 Seafarers player that have never been shared before.
The Seafarers tips and tricks you'll learn in this video can be applied in every single game you play. These are actionable rules of thumb and strategies I use to have a Grandmaster-status on Catan Universe and to beat my friends and family consistently in a game of Catan.
If you're looking for a channel where Catan secrets and strategies are shared and you can learn about the game, you've come to the right one! I upload online championship videos with insightful commentaries and in-depth analysis of 'every game'-situations, like initial settlement placements.
Also, if you want to apply the things you've learned. I host an ongoing Catan Universe / Colonist.io Tournament called King of Catan, in which you can play against excellent catan players from all over the world. Sign-up is still open and you can do that in less than a minute.

Nice video Treeck! If I may, two suggestions to improve your videos: 1) do the “pause here and tell x” for placements or key decisions in the game 2) talk us through your thought processes while analyzing situations such as “I was predicting these settlements outs with these setups” or “I predict player x will prioritize dev cards before expansion” etc. I’m sure you go through all these analyses while playing. It would be great to get to hear them out. Great job and keep the content coming:)

Hey Shiva! Thank you for your suggestions, they are very good 🙂 glad you enjoyed the video!

Hey Treeck! Great game. I have a question. Why did you choose the 61112 instead of the 65? You get better production on the 65 and you will stop red from getting more wood for their port (as they are looking to expand to the 65). The only reasons that I could come up with are the extra sheep (which is important for seafarers) and the 5 wheat would be blocked a lot by the robber. You also mentioned how the 65 would give you coordinated city production.

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

Hey Sheha! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. To answer your question: I think the 6/11/12 is better, because 1) It gives me more sheep - wood/sheep are pretty good in this scenario 2) I don't need extra wheat, I already have an 8-wheat and ore is rare 3) 6/5 will get blocked a lot, because they're often rolled numbers - 11 and 12 won't 4) Now I don't share spots with Cool_kp, who had an excellent set-up, and therefore he will receive a lot of blocks. I don't want to be blocked, just because I share a spot with him. It's also a reason why I blocked Zurules on the 3-brick at the start -- if he gets ahead, I receive extra blocks/steals.

Hey Treeck, one strategy question for you. At 12:45 when you roll the robber, the play I envisioned was targeting a Wood or Brick steal, or trading for Wood or Brick, and then using the +2 to plow Green on the 3:1 port. This would put a large target on your back, but it effectively cuts green out of the game and sets you up well to get another +2 VPs for the other island discovery. Did you consider that play an option at the time? Do you think it’s too risky or makes you too much of a target in the mid game?

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

Hey Matt! Thanks for your question. I considered the option, but I felt - like you pointed out - the target on my back would be too big. Targets on your back can be okay, but you need to have high and wide-spread production to be able to deal with those robbers coming in. If I build a settlement at 12:45 I don't have a city up on the most powerful spot and I have created an extra enemy. This is still the right play, if I believe I will get cut off to the top island if I don't do it. But the longer I wait with building that settlement, the better I stay hidden from my opponents.

@nikkiplayscatan9217 3 года назад

I always love me some good seafarers gameplay! 💛 What is your favourite seafarers scenario?

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

Fog Islands / Oceania (I mean the one with the Fogs in the middle) - the most fun thing I think is the differences between the scenarios. You'll play differently on each map.

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

What is your favorite?

@jake_o_3015 3 года назад

Great video! I know it’s seafarers, but it’s crazy that you only had 4 bricks total throughout the entire game!

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

Only 4? That's interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

@TheRealMike23AS 3 года назад

Great game! I don’t understand right at the end you’re at 10pts (11 with the VP) but when placing your house instead of getting +2 and having 13pts you actually get to 14? Did I miss something ? I rarely play seafarers, thanks !

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

11 points + 2 points from settling on the island = 13 indeed The settlement itself is the 14th victory point. (Yes, 3 points for one settlement is a little broken)

@Breglebgo 3 года назад

Hi Treeck, I have the impression that connecting two islands is very (too much ?) strong in seafarers of Catan because you can benefit the bonus points of exploration with a low number of ships. With some knights in your hands the pirate boat can not really block it. Do you think it is a balanced game ?

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

Hey Nicolas! What we have to keep in mind = Seafarers has very many scenarios and they all require different strategies. With that being said, on Heading for New Shores (what was played in this video), you won't win if you don't go to at least one island. But... In highly skilled leagues, like King of Catan, it's possible to win without going to the islands at all on HfNS, because the other players recognize your odds of winning are really low. This is why they will try to take advantage by trading with you a lot. So, on lower levels, it's imbalanced - but I believe that with more skilled players, players will find ways to win from every situation.

@torbjellejdhejd6108 3 года назад

Why didnt you put your 2nd house on 8/10 wood/sheep and point down or 5/6 wheat wood and point up?

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

I preferred to not share spots with Red, who I believed would have a very strong opening of the game. Which would result in me being blocked more than I would like.

@jonolake 3 года назад

At 19:50 could you have built the ship up from the 6 wood, rather than moving the robber. You'd have had your knight in hand to save for unblocking production or the island at a later stage. However, you'd look slightly less of a threat without the largest army without actually being less of a threat as you can reposition the ship before building the final settlement.

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

The idea makes sense. However, it's not allowed with the Seafarers rules to have a road be next to a ship. There's has to be a settlement in between.

@jonolake 3 года назад

@@Treeckosaurus Yes, I mean from the 6 wood on the top right island, point the ship up in either direction.

@Treeckosaurus 3 года назад

Oh, now I get it. Good catch! Would have been better indeed.
