Settlers Dice Program


This simple app can replace the physical dice for Settlers of Catan, and the Cities and Knights expansion pack.

What does this do that regular dice don't? First off, it adds a timer to limit the length of a player's turn. It also tracks and graphs the frequency of each number, color and the total rolled, and much more.

Features:

  • Rolls white, red and colored dice on click or "enter".
  • Tracks the current player's turn. You can enter up to 6 players. You can click to change who's turn it is.
  • Tracks and graphs each number, color and the total rolled
  • Unlimited undo's back to the start of the game.
  • Timer option. 1 to 8 minute turn limits, or no timer at all. Sound notification. Pausable.
  • Plays sounds to track the coming and arrival of the barbarian ship.
  • Reset button to start a new game.

Why a Timer?

We've found that the games can be kept to a reasonable length of time if turns have time limits, particularly later in the game. Once time runs out we don't allow the player whose turn it is to trade with other players or use development cards. You can determine your own rules surrounding this and the length of time per turn.
