Abstract• What is "Hackers of Catron"?
o Electronic Settlers of Catan® board. Settlers of Catan is a resource gathering and trading board game in which players compete to build the largest economy.
• What we will improve upon?o The game is really fun, but it takes too long to
set up. We will shorten the setup process.o Make resource gathering and spending
automatic. o This project intends to simplify the execution
of Catan without adding more complexity.
