It is your turn, you initiate a trade, you and some other player accept a trade. You buy a development card but oh no! The other player you made a trade with has his vision a bit impared and he totally missed what the trade was. Now he gets to undo the trade? Won't work in practice. Undoing trades s...

This is my latest game and I could predict the winner before we even put down our settlements lol. And this happens way too often for it to be 1/3 of times. When was the last t...

The problem is not having non-deterministic dice on BGA Catan. I've played on sites that have such a setting, and it is not fun. The randomness is fun. The problem is that here, you can often tell who the winning player is going to be based on the first few rolls, regardless of settlement placement....

There is no point in discussing anything on these forums. There will always be some players who don't actually play the game yet will defend even the most blatant situations like this one by saying, "Well, given the distribution, it could still be random, so provide more proof". Just play ...

There is definitly something about number 5 these two last seasons. The white kinghts no evidence defenders does not play this game and Catan is much more than just dice rolls distribution at the end of the game. Not speaking about the bias algorithm that exists on BGA, something that is apparent if...

I do not believe the algorithm is biased towards premium players, however it is apparent to me that some bias still exists. What stands out to me is that only on BGA Catan, you can often tell within the first few rolls which player the algorithm seems to favor. It doesn't happen all the games, but w...

This issue is hard to moderate, but when a player openly admits in chat that they plan to favor another player due to a grudge and follows through with irrational trades and unfair robber targeting, that is kingmaking in my view.

Seems like one of the players is already banned. You can also see their match history where both of them are always present in the same games

First pick so far has been very OP. Also, friendly robber is unfair if it isn't also considering amount of development card one is buying or using.

You are not the first one telling weird things about development card stack, so I will try to be more careful than usual. But please, get some data. Decide in your future games to count the number of times what you think did happen, and count the number of times where what you think did not happen....
