Spiral, 13 points



112, 49, 71 :: red, blue, orange
we are red
we have an interesting setting here ravi, blue has 6, 8, 10, 10 magic numbers and red has 5, 6, 9, 10 and nothing much else. red reaches 5 points first, blue isnt doing anything and is still on 2, whats going on over in that camp? ..now we see red being blocked and as a spectator for a few turns, as it happens in this game.

what a game we've had here! what! a! game! one of the days that will go down in catan history and rightly so! what a victory registered by red, unbelievable! you have to be here to feel the celebrations!

red started on the right foot from early on, and then after some slow middle overs, picked up the game and ran straight into victory, very very comfortable, like running a superbike against 50 cc mopeds.

there was just no stopping him! the robber turned pale and the very board shook as red marched on, making settlement after settlement, upgrading, gaining 2 points each turn, boy you should have seen this ravi.

you must study the map, it says it all, without a port, without grain and wood, just by sticking around magic numbers, we have seen a game here which was easily won.

nothing could have changed the outcome in the last couple of turns, it was a dream game for red indeed. we are anxious to see where he goes from here.

the unnamed player clocks his highest ever! : 132 points, and ranks 699th among the 24833 registered players of catan on asobrain, making it in the top 3%

is all this too good to be true? how long will he go up before he begins his inevitable decline? over analysis and this blog post may just have started it.

  1. Spiral is more becoming a game of having good numbers than resources. I remember the thrashing from one of the other players who just took numbers and had 1 number on stone resource in the beginning. We laughed in the beginning, just to learn an imp lesson in the end, and glad that you did implement your learning.

    132 points - that is impressive. Keep playing Forest Escape and I am sure you will keep your impressive run ;)
