How to Use the Generator

  2. Click Randomize until you like the layout.
  3. Download the board image or rebuild it with your physical pieces.

Why Balanced Boards Matter

In Catan, number-token probability (pips) decides resource flow — a hex showing 6 or 8 pips pays out far more often than one showing 2 or 11. When high-probability tiles cluster together, one player can run away with the game before the first road is even built.

Our generator enforces separation rules automatically, so you never have to double-check dice odds while setting up a Catan board — every layout is validated before it reaches your table.
