Yep. See Monopoly for another example. A game should only take about an hour to play by the rules but there are so many ubiquitous house rules that keep players in with random windfalls of cash.
Oh god, I refuse to play monopoly altogether unless it is strictly by vanilla rules. As soon as someone mentions free money if you fall on free parking I sarcastically claim “but that’s socialism!” and demand we switch to Catan instead.
I can stop you right at “I refuse to play monopoly altogether”
That’s where I’m at. Game sucks. Yeah it’s a great illustration of how capitalism fucks most people but whatever.
I got Catan years ago and I’ve only played it once. Everyone refused to trade and it ruined the game. My extremely competitive friend got mad he was losing and we just shut it down.

That happened to me the only time I played. It was really boring for an hour and a half. I’ve never tried again.
