I have recently bought a Robber 3E Cruiser/Racer in Bahrain. The boat is a hull only and I am in the process of restoring her to her former glory. Does anyone have any information on sail plans and rigging? Any help would be gratefully received.
BYC Junior Member

How does the robber work in Settlers of Catan?
In The Settlers of Catan, the Robber begins the game in the desert hex. However, as the game continues, the Robber moves to other hexes. Whenever a "7" is rolled on the dice (and it is rolled quite often due to it being the most frequent combination), the Robber strikes. The player who rolled the number takes the Robber and moves it to a hex of his or her choice. That player then steals a resource or commodity from the hand of one of the opponents bordering that hex. Until another "7" is rolled or another situation occurs where the Robber may be moved, the hex on which the Robber stands does not produce any resources or commodities. If the number is rolled, that terrain hex produces nothing. Once released from the desert, the Robber may be moved back to it if a benevolent player feels it is an appropriate action. Both the Knight card and Tiered Knights can force the Robber to move, as well as numerous other mechanics available in various scenarios.
