Catan Dice & Timer is a Catan companion app for tabletop game nights. Use a dice roller, turn timer and board generator on one phone, so you can spend more time trading, building and planning your next move. Bring your physical Catan board and pieces; the app helps you run the game at the table. DICE ROLLING FOR YOUR TABLE Choose the dice mode that suits your group: • Random dice: independent rolls, like rolling two physical six-sided dice. • Balanced dice: all 36 two-dice combinations are shuffled and drawn without replacement. Each complete set of 36 rolls follows the expected dice distribution, while the order stays random. • Physical dice: turn off the digital dice and use the app as a board game timer. See your dice statistics after the game and compare the numbers rolled across your saved game history. A TURN TIMER THAT KEEPS PLAY MOVING Give every player time to think, trade and build. Choose Slow, Normal or Custom game speed, with separate timers for settlement placement, the window before a dice roll, and each player's turn. Tap the play area to roll early or finish your turn. When the countdown reaches zero, the game moves on automatically. Pause for a break, undo an accidental tap, or add time when moving the robber. Rolling a 7 automatically adds extra turn time. CATAN BOARD GENERATOR Generate a fresh island with resource tiles and number tokens in one tap. Choose the base 3–4 player board or the 5–6 player extension board, and enable optional ports. Regenerate the layout until you find one you like, then arrange your physical board to match. You can also play with a board you've set up yourself. OPENING SETTLEMENTS AND PLAYER SETUP Add 2–6 players in seating order, with names and individual player colors. The opening settlement rounds follow snake order, with a timer for each placement. An interactive tutorial lets new players try board generation, dice rolls and turn controls before starting a real game. Replay it anytime from the menu. RESULTS, HISTORY AND SHARING Choose the winner to save a finished game on your phone. Revisit game length, player turn times and roll distributions in Game history. Reuse a past game's settings for your next game night, or share a result card with your group. The menu also lets you share the app, leave a store rating or send feedback and feature ideas to the developer.
