So I was playing Settlers of Catan last night with a new group. Halfway through the second round, someone starts claiming the rule about trading is different. They say you can trade with anyone, not just neighbors. I tried to point out the rulebook, but they just laughed and kept trading. Now the game is a mess. Anyone else deal with rule‑changing players? Why do people think they can rewrite the rules on the fly? It's not a free‑form game, it's a structured one. If you want to play a casual game, just stick to the official rules or don't play at all.
