I would say you do this with Catan. It sometimes ends up being this way, depending on the board layout; players can start with very unbalanced resources. Or you can intentionally set it up that way for various reasons. But, since Catan allows for unrestricted bartering, player's starting resources often do impact collusion. Players that start out strong are more likely to do trades that greatly benefit the players that start weak, unless they see them starting to catch up. Multiple weak players band together against the one player with a clear resource advantage. It was always one of the aspects of the game I really liked. It rarely was "fair". It usually was more about social games between players. Sometimes we'd all just pick on someone because they won too many times in a row.
