Variable setup with random numbers and friendly robber in arena is back

[RICK7425]

This new arena set up is not very enjoyable to play. Good luck to those who choose to play it. I think it is rather frustrating to play at best. See you next season when it is fun to play again. Hope the Boardgame people are paying attention.

its interesting, I use to be a pretty competitive Catan player, but was never interested in playing set numbers. Don't think I have don't it since my first game

“Variable” is the traditional spiral setup, not set numbers. “Random” is a chaotic version where it’s allowed to have the same numbers adjacent to each other (except 6 and 8). Last season was Variable (good) and now we are back to Random (not good).

Yes, sorry. I've messed this up before. The naming convention doesn't fit the way I think about this, which is the traditional spiral as variable terrain, because the numbers only move around the desert.
