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 misery and woe, of 3D printing, and ultimately of redemption. Christmas came and went here at Zheng Labs, where boardgames are drawn from storage and placed into service to amuse ever-patient elders who aren't so into Minecrafting and Guild Wars 2 as their grandchildren. Imagine the shock and dismay, the heartbroken looks on wee little faces when our Catan box was revealed to have no Robber within! 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, 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 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 we don't tolerate half measures or temporary hacks at Zheng Labs. We do not settle for less. So to the printer!
