TIL a guy at my local game store taught me how to actually play Catan without fighting

I was at Dragon's Lair in Austin last Saturday and this older dude named Mike sat down next to me during a pickup game. He told me to stop hoarding brick and focus on trading early, even if it feels like giving away a win. Have you ever had a random stranger at a shop change how you see a game?

Had the exact same thing happen at my local shop in Denver, some guy told me to ditch trading for exact resources and just make deals happen even if I got the short end. Changed my whole approach to the game overnight, Mike sounds like a legend.

Wait, are you sure it was Denver? I thought you said that happened to you in Austin last week.
