Overheard a couple arguing about the optimal player count for Catan at the coffee shop

One person insisted three players ruins the game's balance, while the other said it's the only way to play. It got me thinking about how rigid we can get with 'correct' ways to enjoy a hobby. Do you have a hard rule for a game that you refuse to break?

Man, that's everywhere! People treat their favorite recipes or workout routines like sacred texts too.

Honestly, if someone tried to tell me the only way to play a game is their way, I'd probably hide their longest road card out of spite lol. People get so weirdly intense about stuff that's supposed to be fun. Like, let me enjoy my badly balanced three player game in peace, you know? It's not like we're splitting the atom here, we're just moving little sheep tokens around.
