I love Catan, but this ain’t it

After playing this game multiple times I’ve noticed that the dice rolls aren’t really fair when you play against actual online players. The game has this like Karma mode, which makes it very fair for everyone to get to the top. You will spend hours playing this game not winning. It’s honestly a waste of time even when you have a good placement.

Joke of a game

Garbage game with terrible dice rolling

Rank System Broken

Great game for casuals but I just unlocked rank (silver 1) and tried to play a ranked game. I got matched with all players in platinum after 3 mins queue

buggy af keeps ruining the game

I love this game and play it all the time. however, pretty often the map will disappear entirely so I keep getting resource cards but can’t play them or place any developments. It’s a huge bummer when I’m on a roll or about to win and then have to resign and lose karma because I can’t see the game anymore. :( otherwise happy with it and love the 1v1
