Not optimal

Should be some more settings rules and cofigs:
1. A resource should not be next to it’s corresponding port.
2. Two resources should not have the same number tile: not 6 on two different rock tiles.

Just these 2 alone would go a long way.

Proper Value

It does what it’s supposed to and it’s aesthetically appealing as well. Couldn’t ask for more. Will have to explore the other parts of the app where you could use the expansion map or something…

This app is a most have

When dealing with how to setup a new board, it always takes so much time to actually make some “Random” escenario, with this app is very straight foward how to setup any scenario that you will need

Easy to use.

We have enjoyed using this to map out our CATAN board! Easy to use! Would love for you to add Cities and Knights options!

Great overall but 1 thing that’s not sitting right

This game does a great job of adding features to arrange the hexes and numbers to different game set ups which I love!

However an issue I’m having is that the default harbors layout isn’t as accurate to the game itself. I’ve played both the 5th and 6th versions of Catan (6th edition doesn’t allow you to customize harbors!!), both versions’ harbors don’t align with the harbor layout in the app.

6th: 3, wheat, ore, 3, sheep, 3, 3, brick, wood

App default: 3, 3, brick, ore, 3, wheat, wood, 3, sheep

Maybe the app is geared towards an older version of the game? Regardless, it would be nice if it has that option to select which version of the game you have or something that lets you decide how the harbors are set up!
