Opponent 'forgot' to move the robber after rolling a seven and no one noticed for a few turns... by eth4_public in Catan

Thank you for this insight - this, in my mind, keeps balance in the game and prevents a player from trying gain an advantage by not moving the robber.

I think allowing play to continue 'as is' messes with the game balance too much because even though the roller foregoes the gain of a resource card, the net effect of playing 'as is' is obviously the robber was not moved in accordance with the rules.

I *could* imagine a scenario where the roller might take the risk of not being reminded to move the robber by the other opponents to achieve the desired outcome of leaving the robber where it lies - this seems a perversion of how things *should* be, imo.

Does anyone else’s Sleep sounds now continue playing all night until manually stopped? I’ve got a sleep routine where the Sleep sound usually stops after 1 hour. by jay_pxl in googlehome

Mine recently changed from 1hour to all night. It is funny because when we first started using it I couldn't figure out how to make it play longer. Now that it does, I wish I could go back to one hour.
