Rigged

Don’t bother. I can predict who will win every time. The game literally starts to favor a player and you can tell what’s going to be rolled with almost 100% certainty when certain conditions are met. Until they fix the algorithm or however it works I will not play again.

AI never lets you win

I’ve been playing Catan for a year now and never had this issue. Lately the AI targets me constantly — it always places the robber on me, even when another AI is winning. It rolls a lot of 7s when the robber isn't on me, but once the robber is on me, a 7 never comes up for ages. Both the AI and the dice feel rigged.

Dice rng absolute trash

Just had a game with five 2s rolled and not a single 9. This has happened multiple times

Just don’t download the game

This is the worst game I’ve played on my iPhone. Don’t even think about downloading it.
