Board Generators are a cool tool!

I have long been a fan of board generators. My table love random maps and a board generator can save a huge amount of time when setting up, especially for those with less experience.

 

My own favourite has always been a generator created by Jared Kirschner. It is simple to use and simply works. It can generate standard shaped boards for both 1-4 players and 5-6 players. I have used this for years and it has been the only generator I have linked to on this site..... until today!

Now I have another generator I like and the cool thing is both generators compliment each other.

Why? Because the new generator is mostly for Seafarers and has a new range of scenarios that you can create a map for. Created by Max a Reddit User (PlasticCandy4538), this new generator is in its early days and already really useful. Yes it does the base game too, but it is the seafarers and the scenarios that has caught my interest.

The creator mentions in his post he is keen to receive any suggestions and will be adding other expansions in the future. In a reply to a message I sent, he also advised he is already working on a couple of official expansions and may be willing to look at adding some of "The Lost Maps" from this site too. That would be very cool!

Below is a screenshot of the new generator and I really recommend everyone to have a look.

The website is www.seafarers-generator.com.
