Blatant cheating but you can't call it cheating ???

[ErikLevin]

I like to play Catan with my daughter, we can't play a 2 player game so we for example play a 3 player game, we don't cheat we just play as normal, but it's the only way we can play together as we dont have a third person we know that plays
