A REAL PLACE. A NEW WAY TO PLAY.

Bring a little of the world to the table.

Type a city, region, or country. We’ll read its land cover and elevation, then shape a Catan island inspired by it.

FROM SCREEN TO TABLE

Build your island.

  1. Keep the short rows at the top and bottom. The island has 5 rows: 3, 4, 5, 4, and 3 tiles.
  2. Place terrain first. Start at A1 in the upper-left of the top row and work left to right. Then move down to rows B, C, D, and E.
  3. Add the number tokens. Match the token column to the coordinates. The desert stays empty; put the robber there.
  4. Finish the frame. Use the harbor arrangement on your existing sea frame, then place your starting settlements and roads.

The placement labels A1–E3 are coordinates for this tool, not the letters printed on the backs of number tokens. This generator randomizes the tokens instead of using the official alphabetical spiral.
