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

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...

After 1083 games i must say that dices are scripted.

Apart from the user interface, there is nothing positive about this pathetic website. I cannot believe that their software engineers are so remarkably unskilled that they cannot even implement a random dice. The dice is manipulated for creating so called balanced dice. When you start rolling early 7s with a friendly robber, you know that the opponent will roll those 7s later to balance your number of 7s. How can an engineer be so stupid to come up with such an idea? It is really bad. The game Catan itself is such an enjoyable game and I am sorry that there is not any good website to play ever since playcatan website came to a halt. The software developers (apart from the GUI, front end developers) of this website should just quit for the sake of everyone. By the way, not to mention that the bot is more stupid than anything you can imagine. You can create a better implementation just by using ChatGPT.
