  Or the inverse, such as "Can give two sheep, what will you offer me for it?"

  i usually just do that in the chat, but i do agree, having the option to physically have an offer pop up, makes it more real. Especially when you don't want to say what cards you have in chat in case someone is baiting you (i.e to figure out your cards to either steal via kinght or monopoly)

  You should be able to start a trade only by showing what you give or what you want and let other people send request. For example if want a brick and i m ok with giving any other resource, now i have to make 4 individual offers. I just want to show what i need and let others to show if and what they are willing to trade.

  Agreed, it's an important part of trading IRL. CatanUniverse has that option and it really helps. Hope the wonderful devs of Colonist can pull it out ;)

  "Trades with one resource" (suggested by Alex on 2020-05-26), including upvotes (7) and comments (1), was merged into this suggestion.

  This would make it much more like playing in-person. The current trading mechanism in general is very restrictive in comparison to in-person playing.

  This has not been commented on for a while and is 'Under consideration' but still think it is well needed, so bump!

  This would be a great change. And to the point about using chat to offer these types of trades, chat is really difficult when playing on mobile (tablet or smartphone).

  My "AutoControl for Colonist.io" extension plugin for Chrome implements a simple form of open-ended trades.

  What a great suggestion! This would certainly allow the game to feel closer to in-person gameplay with Catan. I do sometimes miss this kind of trading interactions from in-person game play. While this can be done in chat, it's a struggle to chat on mobile devices and having buttons or built-in options to the UI would be ideal. Additionally, I can see this cutting down on offered trades as the setup for the current trading system can be a bit restrictive.

  The best design will be a "wild card", it represent "any number, any type" cards, just like a "Wildcard character". It can combine with other certain cards to make any possibility and fulfill any expression.
