CATAN Speedrun - Win on 1st Turn

Speedruns are one of the niche but beautiful parts of gaming culture, but I have not seen it applied to board games and was feeling a little bit left out. So I decided to see if we can make speedrunning interesting with board games, starting with Catan.

As a fun thought experiment, I thought, "Hypothetically, how quickly can someone win a game of Catan if played perfectly and everything went their way?" After a lot of contemplation and tomfoolery, I made a video out of it. There is a lot of interesting things you can learn about the game from watching this, in addition to the actual goal of the video. Enjoy!
