Disable Special Build Phase (SBP)
Set an option to disable build phase for 5-6 players. It is very boring and slow.

IwannaRock AdminThe special building phase is part of the 5-6 players expansion official rules: it is how the game is supposed to be played.

noun MergedThe option to disable Special Build Phase (SBP) would be much appreciated. When players use this feature (obviously out of turn), it decreases (or completely eliminates) the chance for a 7 to make them cut cards. For example, it is unfair to every other player that someone can use SBP when they're holding 10 cards, build what they want, get below 7 cards, and then not be affected by subsequent rolls of 7's. This should be an option like raising the discard threshold which is a perfect alternative for the need to build out of turn with SBP.
I love this game and there is nothing more frustrating than when people use SBP because it is essentially cheating. If the rest of us cut cards while someone else got to use all of their cards out of turn on the last turn, then what is the point of the game? Why not just let everyone build whenever they want and remove 7's as a penalty?
I like when 7's are dangerous to everyone. Raising the discard limit in 5-6/7-8 player games is the solutio -

KOSTETVAAOR MergedWe started playing the 5-6 player Maps and noticed the "Special Build Phase" when a random user used it in our group. I think its a fun feature but it should be possible to disable it. We just want to play basic settlers with some mates and there is always someone trying to screw the other one by using the feature even when we agreed to not use it.

HippoSo many suggestions merged into this one. Please give this option. I hesitate buying any 6 player expansion because of two things:
1
– UI not showing more than four players.
– Development card deck might be too small and I will definitely not play with SBP because it changes the game in a very drastic way I don’t want.
