Warning: our Catan night fell apart when the robber got flipped across the room
Last Friday my group of five sat down for Catan at my place in Sacramento and about 40 minutes in, my buddy Rob got hit with the robber for the third time in a row and just lost it. He swept the whole board with his forearm and one sheep card landed in my chili. We tried to keep playing but nobody could remember where the roads went, so we gave up and played Uno instead. Now I'm wondering if the robber is even a good mechanic or just a fight waiting to happen. Has anyone found a house rule that keeps the robber from blowing up game night?
