Since I posted about a month ago, my doubles % in COB has actually gotten WORSE! I now have a 17.25% double rate over almost 90000 rolls in 3900 games. Statistically the chance of this is beyond ridiculous and is costing me a lot of games. I realize there are streaks of bad luck but COME ON. The ac...

It absolu...

It's interesting that most discussions about probabilities are coming from Catan players not understanding how they work.

There is at least one easy option. Change the rule from a minimum of 8 cards to a minimum of 11 cards.
