New player here and enjoying the game. I read the recent thread about the random number allocation and in there was chatter about 3 or 4 player impact being different.
It got me thinking is there a preferred number that many play at? My games so far have all been 3s, and Arena seems set to 3 (this season?). But when creating a ‘play now’ table the little dot denoting recommended best numbers is against the 4.
4 would seem like a cluttered board and more chance later on to be regularly with eight or more resources and ripe for the robber.
3 would likely be a faster game.
Apologies if this has been kicked around as a topic previously.
