Just another business designed, not just for fun..algorythm setup specifically in favour of those who buy subscription, so dont talk about smart play or fairness at all..

This game is clearly rigged. The pattern of 7 is clearly not random. It is rigged in specific way, that i can almost predict when 7 is about to fall. This is not only from me, but lot of people said this.

Fijn spel, alleen overdreven en voorspelbare manipulatie tvv betalende spelers. Heel spijtig.

The dice is scrypted clearly no annoy you, because some sequences are 1:100000 but they happen almost each game. If the game decides that you loose, even if you have better tiles - you loose.

I give it one star because I can play it with friends and it's fun. However, if I tried to play online with other players or in a ranking, I would take that one star away. What the game sometimes shows with the dice is complete nonsense. The opponent rolls a 7, puts a robber on my 4, and then immediately rolls a 4 twice in a row. And I could find many more nonsensical examples in the game. Some players rolled 7 7 times in a game, and I only rolled a 7 once in that game. And as I read somewhere, the creators of this game absolutely do not tolerate criticism and opinions that criticize something about the game. I conclude that Colonist is far from an online replacement for Catan. It is just a poor imitation of Catan

2 star for allowing game play, especially with friends but making it obviously skewed and frustrating with the dice rolls in the online play with others They explain their dice rolling algorithm in some blog post in hopes of sounding fair, but the charts and numbers are just nonsense and you can quite obviously understand after a while that the rolls favor or unfavor you depending on how much you have won or lost. I have had games where the person who has not a single settlement on an 8 or 6 has won in a 2 player game with a HEAVY margin. Even have screenshots for that. Just because I won a few games before and it was now this other player's turn to win.

No one is replying to questions... I have some bugs which make the game unplayeble.

Love the game, hate the dice. They came up with whole article about the dice randomness but didn't bother to come up with better algorithm for it. The amount of gray hair I started growing because of this is crazy. I can understand I won't win every game but losing 5 in a row because the dice favoured lowest numbers like 1,2,3 it's just pure evil. This game should be removed from existence for the sake of humanity. I'm sure one day there will be a real war caused because of this game unfair dice algorithm...
