Initial Board Assessment

For your two settlements, look at I44 + I26. These settlements produce all five resources, giving you several ways to build. This opening leans toward roads and new settlements. Place I26 second to start with 1 wood, 1 brick, 1 wheat.

How To Approach It

  • The board produces relatively little brick, ore, wood; secure a source or a way to trade for it.
  • The board has more sheep production than most other resources; check whether a matching harbor fits your opening.
  • Keep I16 in mind if you want to focus on city upgrades.
  • These are starting plans, not promises: dice, the robber and other players can change them.
  • Compare the numbers as long-run averages, not a countdown to your next build.

Seat Plans

Your place in the turn order affects which settlements may still be available. Compare the suggested starts and the second settlements that work with them.

3-player game

Placement order reverses after everyone has chosen once: the last player picks twice in a row, and the first player waits longest. These examples compare four opponent play styles, not the odds of a spot staying open.

Player 1

Build a flexible start

You choose first, then wait until everyone else has placed both settlements.

Priority: Choose a useful first settlement without relying on one particular second pick.
