Mayfair 사이트에 새로운 공식룰이 게시되었네요

그 내용을 간단히 정리해보면요

바바리안이 카탄섬을 침공하기전까지는 7이 나와도 도둑을 움직일수가 없습니다.

물론 상대방플레이어로부터 카드를 가져올수도 없습니다. 하지만

일단 바바리안이 카탄섬을 침공한후에는 바로 그 턴부터 도둑을 예전의 룰대로

효력을 발생합니다.

그리고 침공전까지 7이 나올경우에는 8장(?)이상부터 가진카드의 반을 버리는 룰만 그대로

적용해서 합니다.

시페어러를 포함해서 하는경우에 해적선에도 똑같이 적용된다고 합니다.

개인적으로 카탄섬의 침공후에 도둑이 활개친다는 내용이 스토리상 어울려보입니다

아래는 원문입니다.

Rules update...

On behalf of the author, the following is the new official rule, it's not an optional rule (but the old rule can now be considered an optional rule).

When playing with the Cities & Knights of Catan expansion, the robber is not moved until after the barbarians have reached the island and raided Catan at least once. The robber does not move when a "7" is rolled, and you may not steal a card from another player. You also may not move the robber with a knight, or with any progress card that normally allows you to move the robber.

When a "7" is rolled, all players must still check to see if they have too many cards in their hand. If they do, then they must still discard half of them to the bank. Only the movement of the robber pawn is affected by this new rule.

This rule also applies to the pirate ship, if you are combining the Seafarers of Catan expansion with Cities & Knights.

Once the barbarians attack Catan, all of the normal rules for the robber (and pirate) apply. The robber begins to take effect immediately after the first barbarian attack. So, if you roll a "7" on the same turn as the first barbarian invasion, then you will move the robber that turn (the result of the production dice is always resolved after the event die).
