Catan Trainer App

Training app to practice your Catan placements

Summary

When I won my place at the Catan World Championships in Berlin 2014 I decided I’d play around with getting my game better. I’ve always enjoyed Catan and played thousands of hours of it with my friends, (I even made a custom Catan board for my friend Jamie).

To help me get reps in I built this tiny web app which helps train you on Catan settlement placement and board resource distribution. It was a fun little distraction which surely helped me add a few percentage points to my game skill.

Training your Catan Skills

I built this simple web app when I was training for the Catan World Championship in Berlin in 2014. It’s a very simple web app which helps you train placements of initial settlements based on the odds. It also features a Catan board analyser and board generator.

You then accumulate win/lose points:

Let’s make mad sh*t.
