> This setting removes some frustration from the game, like you settling on two sixes but getting only eights benefiting the enemy, but obviously makes "lucky wins" less likely for you as well.

I've played regular board-game Catan about 10 times, and every single time either 6 or 8 has come up way less than it "should". It's been roughly equal whether it's helped or hurt me, but it really takes some of the enjoyment out of the game when people fight for those spots, only to have them be worthless.



I've found that settlers is very good at illustrating that random does not necessarily mean evenly distributed.
