Settlers of Catan house rules you might consider implementing:
- Players are permitted to display their cards to opponents, beyond the contents of already-agreed-upon trades [¬4620, ¬4648]
- Building a settlement on an opponent’s road does not interrupt it (w/r/t Longest Road) [¬4608]
- Players may trade cards without revealing them publicly (if they’re clever enough…) [¬4639]
- Players may lose by negligence, if they fail to notice their victory condition during their turn and another player achieves victory in the interim [¬4616]
- Players may win on an opponent’s turn if they have the victory points (sorta conflicts with #4—not irreconcilably so, however!)
- Development Cards purchased during the Special Build Phase immediately before the Player’s turn cannot be played until the Player’s next turn [¬4587]
- Victory Point cards are not exempt from the Development Card “same turn” restriction [¬4596]
