Houserules & variants
Know a variant your table plays? Add it to Catan.
During setup each player takes their starting resources and may immediately build one road before the first roll. Speeds up the opening without changing the economy.

The robber may not be returned to the hex it was just moved from. Whoever rolls a 7 must find it a new home. Stops two players from locking the same wheat hex out of the game all evening.
The robber may not be placed on a hex adjacent to a player who has 2 or fewer victory points. If every hex touches such a player, the robber goes to the desert instead. Keeps an early setback from snowballing into an unwinnable game.
