Robber Rex

RAWWWWWWWRR! This is a T. rex replacement for your Settlers of Catan robber. Enjoy the carnage and mayhem and sweet crunching of tiny Catanese bones every time you pull a seven in the world's favorite resource-allocation board game. But first, my friends, a tale unfolds. A tale of woe and heartbreak, and of 3D printing, which ultimately leads to redemption. Christmas came and went at Zheng Labs, and as is our custom, the board games were drawn from storage and placed into service to amuse the ever-patient elders who aren't as into Minecrafting and Guild Wars 2 as their grandchildren. Imagine the shock and dismay on the wee little faces when our Catan box was revealed to be without a Robber! There was wailing, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments. The holiday turducken turned to ash in our mouths. High and low we searched, under bookcases and couch cushions, between stuffed animals and inside cans and cartons of Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs, K'Nex, LEGO, and Thomas the Tank Engine sets long since mothballed. But the crafty Robber was nowhere to be found. Dejected and exhausted, we can only assume the Robber has absconded with his ill-gotten booty and is now living like a king in Patagonia. A d20 was pressed into service as an ersatz Robber token, but at Zheng Labs we do not tolerate half measures or temporary hacks. We demand perfection. To the printer!
