This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. ** Lots of people think this is the full game and are rating 1 star :( ** ** If you're not one of those people, we'd appreciate any feedback! ** This is a minor update to fix a couple animations and the rate button.

Great companion app for Catan

Great list of configurations and features, we recently start playing Catan again as the kids are old enough to enjoy the fun of Board Games

One regret I found is that the “Random Port Locations” despite enabled or disabled , each generation would be “random” , while some edition of Catan does not allow port override , or contains the extra “port pieces”

Like my current edition, of the right of the “2:1 wheat” it’s a “3:1” port , and both are on the same edge piece which means it’s a fixed combination. It will be nice if the app can take user input of “default port” locations / combinations before the random map generation

For now I am going to ignore the port and see how we go
