The Robber Before the First Attack
Cities & KnightsCATAN
Until the barbarians first attack, the robber waits beside the track: nothing can move it (not a 7, a progress card or a knight) and no one steals. A 7 still makes players with too many cards discard. The first attack puts the robber on the desert.
