I don't like the "after a couple of rounds, 7s are allowed". It undermines part of the randomness. Our 'house game' simply had the problem that the robber arrives too quickly. So we made the rule that the robber can't advance until Player 1 is rolling for the third time. From that point forward, the robber advances. This gives the advantage of allowing more development, but without obviating the 'randomness' of robber landing.
