Oct 26	comment	Is bribing off the robber a good addition to Settlers of Catan? +1 There are other ways to hinder the leader such as not trading with them and building against them, but this does indeed diminish an effective tool.
Oct 26	comment	Is bribing off the robber a good addition to Settlers of Catan? +1 Interesting. We don't always play with this rule, so perhaps we have a good balance of frequent enough to keep it fun. I have seen someone get a huge amount of resources, but seldom is it one of the front runners in the game.

Oct 26	comment	Is bribing off the robber a good addition to Settlers of Catan? +1 for a good answer. A rule forbidding all trading except with the bank would shut down bribes, but it would also take away some of the fun factor.
Oct 25	comment	Is bribing off the robber a good addition to Settlers of Catan? You make a good point about potentially not being able to hinder the leader in the game. If the leader is offering the bribe the player placing the robber will have to determine if the bribe being offered is sufficient to merit the risk. Often they will only accept the bribe if it obviously hurts the leader or allows significant building.
