4 Placement Strategies for Beginners to Recognize - Journey to 1500 ELO in Catan Universe #5

When one is matched against lower skilled players the gaps in skill become noticeable. This is one of the best ways for beginners to learn and improve; by realizing how pivotal placements are.

In this game, I am matched against much lower ranked players than I. Despite myself not being ranked above 1200 ELO, the difference ~150 ELO makes is staggering. I believe beginners can find this video instructional on several strategies involving placements and why placement strategies win games.

Of course, much of the plays I made would be contested by more skilled opponents and further strategies would be needed. Yet, from a beginner's perspective, who would be playing against such low ranked opponents, one is able to see the impact of more informed placement decisions.
