Just found out Settlers of Catan has a 4 player limit because of a 1995 shipping box size, not game design
I was reading a designer interview from 2019 where Klaus Teuber said the game was built around what fit in a standard box, and 4 players was the max that worked. I always assumed the 3 to 4 player range was some balance thing the designers tested for months. Is there any other classic game where the player count came from packaging limits instead of actual playtesting?
