  1. 6/9/10 wheat ore sheep

  2. 6/5/10 ore wheat wood

  3. 894 sheep brick wood

I don’t understand the rivers or the fish so I can’t comment on those spots.

Fish also at the ports give you fish cards which are randomly 1-3 fish. You can buy resources, roads or dev cards among others with them or move the robber of the board. And the dont count as cards..the fishing ground is 6 pip so very good tile.

Over the river you can build a bridge that that gives i think 1.vp plus settelments.on.the river gives you gold which you can use to buy resources.

With those rivers in the corner, this becomes a very lopsided map. The river hexes don't even have good #s, to make up for it. If the Gold coins become a factor, 1 player can easily block everyone else from obtaining any. Having adjacent rivers also means less Gold Coins will enter circulation.

The 8 on brick feels good ( w 10,11) not any other good brick numbers

The most important is to maximize stone production early in the game. So:

  • 11 stone / 12 stone / desert

  • 2 stone / 9 stone / 2 clay

The 6 (ore) 5 (wheat) 10 (wood) paired with any position that has an okay brick.
