Dice rolling 7

This needs to be improved.

There is no way the 7 should roll so many times when you have more than 7 resources.

It's not random. Every time you go over the amount of resources you're allowed to hold, you know the next time you roll it's most likely a 7. (not when other people roll, but you)

The chances of rolling a 7 shouldn't change based on how many resources you have.

You do realize that EVERY time you roll 2 dice, the most likely result is a 7?

You're not only assuming that there is some bug in the random function, you're actually accusing the developers that they have deliberately implemented a dependency to the amount of your cards!

You just have to talk nicely to the dice before you roll. Computers can hear what you say now, you know?

THis is a recurrent complaint in some of my games. It's as if people need to brush up on statistics and probabilities.

Yes, it's almost as if the game's author picked the 7 for the robber for a reason...
The 7 is the most likely result of 2 dice, and the whole setup is meant to keep players from hoarding resources. Working exactly as intended!
