I bought the brazilian version of settlers of Catan, and suspected the dice that came with the game suffered of really shoddy brazilian quality manufacturing, because the game didn't was nowhere near fun as I had heard of it on Internet, with extremely frequent long rounds of nothing happening.
I tested the dice, by hand. And indeed, the dice, despite being a pair and thus theoretically greatly favoring 7, instead had a bias towards 2, 3, 11, 12.
Since most players put their important stuff on nunbers closer to 7, it became obvious why the game was sucking. (The match that made me go check the dice, had 4 turns in a row where even summing all players resources we still didn't had enough to build roads and do basic actions!!!)
- vonzeppelin 10y agoMy friends and I have played a million hours of Settlers of Catan but once we used machined dice from a casino in Vegas and they absolutely revolted, refusing to play until we replaced the dice. The robber, 7, was being rolled so many times and they weren't used to it all. They hated it! It almost seems like the imperfect dice are intentional.
