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.
