Weariness in Catan
Posted: 08 May 2026, 10:23
Hello
I'm starting to get really tired of playing Catan.
First, the algorithms always favor one player in the game. An unlikely number comes up more often than others. Everything now depends solely on luck, on choosing the right number, and not on strategy.
Furthermore, the number 8 comes up more often than the number 6, even though they have the same probability.
Sometimes I get lucky several times in a row, sometimes not at all for several games. These streaks are strange.
Beyond that, the players' behavior is exhausting. I just finished a game. I was one move away from winning, but a very slow opponent ended up being expelled. Many people expel others when they lose, but they wouldn't behave that way when they win. There are also many cases of cheating and illogical behavior. Players attack weaker players, for example, for no reason.
In short, I don't know if my feeling is shared, but I'm completely losing the enjoyment of playing this game.
