Interactive Settlement & Road Draft

Choose a three- or four-player table and your seat, then record each settlement and its initial road in normal snake order. Occupied and adjacent blocked intersections are removed, while settlement and road recommendations update after every completed turn.

How many players are at the table?
Which seat are you playing?

Initial Board Assessment

For your two settlements, look at I13 + 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 brick, 1 sheep, 1 wheat.

How To Approach It

  • The board produces relatively little ore; secure a source or a way to trade for it.
  • The board has more wood production than most other resources; check whether a matching harbor fits your opening.
  • Keep I21 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.

Recommended starts
  • I13 Wood 8 / Ore 5 / Wheat 4
    Opening score 45.57 · Best pair score 51.87
    You can choose this spot now. After this pick, I22 was the most common second settlement in the scenarios checked. Road building will need trades for brick.
  • I45 Ore 10 / Wheat 6 / Brick 4
    Opening score 45.06 · Best pair score 49.08
    You can choose this spot now. After this pick, I22 was the most common second settlement in the scenarios checked. Road building will need trades for wood.
  • I26 Wheat 11 / Brick 6 / Sheep 5
    Opening score 44.53 · Best pair score 51.87
