Thanks for the review Tom... I always appreciate them and this one is good too. After watching, I felt like the aspect of trading with other players was not talked up enough. Whenever I've introduced new players to Settlers of Catan, I always hear that the "coolest" part of the game is trading resources with other players. It seems to be the part of the game that is most new and different to folks playing for the first time.

You mentioned it a few times in the review, but perhaps an example of one player trading with another to get the right cards to build a settlement would be nice. I know it's a quick review, but for how big of an impact that part of the game has on new players, I thought there would be a bit more emphasis on it.
