Settlers of Catan...

...is the greatest board game ever.

I asked this in the Dear Abby/Bison thread, but I figured I'd open it up to all of OOT: Why are the blue cards so terrible (assume you're playing 3-way with Cities and Knights and Seafarers)?

I mean, is there really any reason to place a city on an ore/coin hex (rather than a wood/book or sheep/cloth hex) at the start of the game?

before you suggest a better game make sure you have actually played settlers of catan folks. we're all aware that monopoly, risk, and uno exist.
