Add the following variants: No Trade, Reverse Robber, and Reverse Robber on 7
Can you add the No Trade (NT), No Trade - Reverse Robber (NTRR), and No Trade - Reverse Robber on 7 (NTRR7) variants?
No Trade: Prevent all trades which forces you to use bank / ports for trades.
Reverse Robber: When a 7 is rolled or Knight card is played, the player must select an open spot on the map. If no open spot is available, he must place it on a number he owns that does not border someone else's numer. If no such spot exists, he can place it on a number that borders himself or an opponent.
Reverse Robber on 7: When a 7 is rolled, the player must select an open spot on the map. If no open spot is available, he must place it on a number he owns that does not border someone else's numer. If no such spot exists, he can place it on a number that borders himself or an opponent. If a player uses a knight card, he may block and steal a resource from an opponent.
Games play much faster and collusion is drastically reduced when players can't trade or rob others.

leso Mergednt rr7 - no trade reverse robber on 7
is a game variant that was very popular on jsettlers years ago
for good reason
it makes for a faster game, more fair, less luck based, and deeper strategy and importance on opening placements -

Chris MergedI also played several hundred games (and the top players several thousand) many years ago at PlaySettlersOnline.com. NTRR7 would be a little bit of re-coding the "friendly robber" to make sure it caught all the edge cases, but man oh man, if it doesn't force you to evaluate your starting positions and where your next settlement will be! https://playsettlersonline.wordpress.com/variants/
