SettlerStats is the perfect companion app for the board game CATAN. Roll your own dice and simply tap in the result, let the app roll for you, or use GoDice™ Bluetooth dice by Particula – the app detects every roll automatically, almost like magic. Your table, your choice! SettlerStats turns your iPhone or iPad into a smart dice companion and a powerful statistics tool – for a more exciting, fair, and entertaining game night. Everything important is tracked in real time and can be explored in detail after the game. What makes SettlerStats special: • Three ways to roll – Use your own dice and tap the sum in a second, roll virtually on screen, or connect GoDice™ Bluetooth dice and let the app do the rest. • Resource sounds – Hear wood being sawed, sheep bleating in the fields, or the barbarians launching their attack. No robbery and no barbarian attack will ever go unnoticed again. • Live statistics – Dice distribution, game progress, resource yields, barbarian attacks, and robberies – all at a glance. • Deep game analysis – Fair dice or pure luck? Every game gets a weather-style fairness rating, from sunny skies to a full-blown tornado. Plus a resource timeline, resource drought tracker, and game phase breakdown – for your previously saved games too. • Hall of Fame – Immortalize every victory with full statistics and find out who is the long-time Catan champion of your group. Filter by player groups and share your wins as an image. • iCloud sync – Your games are automatically available on all your devices. • Lightning-fast setup – Ready to play in 30 seconds. Supports the base game and Cities & Knights for 3–6 players, and with limitations other expansions such as Seafarers. Premium: All features are free. To keep your complete game history in the Hall of Fame, unlock Premium once – no subscription, no ads. SettlerStats is an unofficial product and is not affiliated with CATAN GmbH, the rights holder of CATAN, or Particula Ltd., the manufacturer of GoDice™ Bluetooth dice. For any questions or issues regarding SettlerStats, please contact the app developer directly – do not contact Particula Ltd. Particula Ltd. does not provide support for SettlerStats. A big thank you to my son and coding partner Christoph, whose board generator and many other great ideas contributed significantly to the app. And to my loyal Catan crew – Katrin, Martina, Stefan, Sophie, and Christoph – who always provided the first feedback. Thank you all!
