How scoring works in Catan

Catan is a 10-victory-point race. Each settlement is worth 1 VP, each city 2 VP. Longest Road and Largest Army each grant a 2-VP bonus to the current holder (5+ roads, 3+ knights respectively). Victory point cards drawn from the development deck are worth 1 VP each and stay hidden until you win. Enter the count of each VP source per player and the live leaderboard tracks who's closest to 10.

Rules sourced from Official Catan rulebook (catan.com).

Catan scorecard — common questions

What counts toward victory points in Catan?+

Settlements = 1 VP each; Cities = 2 VP each (so upgrading doubles your value). Longest Road bonus = 2 VP for the player with the longest continuous road (minimum 5 segments). Largest Army bonus = 2 VP for the player who's played the most knight cards (minimum 3). Victory Point development cards = 1 VP each, played at game end. First to 10 wins.

Does this scorecard work for Catan expansions?+

Yes for the basic VP types. If you're playing Seafarers / Cities & Knights / Traders & Barbarians, those expansions add new VP sources — use the generic 'Any board game' scorecard or add custom rows in the notes for accurate tracking.

Why use a scorecard? Doesn't everyone count VPs on the board?+

Mostly yes — settlements and cities are visible. But hidden VPs from development cards aren't shown until game end, and Longest Road / Largest Army change hands frequently. The scorecard makes the running totals visible without revealing the hidden VPs prematurely.

Is it really free? Do I need to sign up?+

Yes, free, no signup. The scorecard runs entirely in your browser — no account, no app to install, no tile data sent anywhere. Ads on the page keep the site running.

How do I share the scorecard with my table?+

Tap the QR code button at the top of any scorecard. Everyone scans it with their phone camera and gets a live view of the same scorecard — they can watch the leaderboard update in real time as you tap.

Do scores save if I close the tab?+

Yes — the in-progress scorecard is saved automatically in your browser. Open the same scorecard URL on the same device and your scores will still be there. To clear, tap Reset.

Does it work on mobile?+

Yes — every scorecard is built phone-first. Big tap targets, big numbers, designed to be passed around the table. Bookmark to your home screen for one-tap access.

Can I undo a tap?+

Yes — every scorecard has an Undo button at the top. It rolls back the last 20 score changes. The Reset button starts the whole game over.

What if my game isn't listed?+

Use the Any Board Game generic scorecard — it gives you flexible round columns and editable labels so you can score basically any round-based game. If you want a specific game added, the AI Prompts Library link in the footer has a feedback form.
