Catan began as The Settlers of Catan, the German board game designed by Klaus Teuber and first published in 1995. Its robber is moved when a player rolls a seven, which blocks the chosen hex from producing and allows a card to be taken from a neighbouring player. As Catan moved into digital versions and streamed board game sessions, that familiar moment became easy to isolate as a short clip. Players now share the robber cue outside full games to signal a steal or a blocked resource.
