How it works

Keep player, color, role, and edge rows in separate stable pools.
Securely shuffle each applicable pool and pair positions without silently dropping extras.
Draw starting player and direction independently, then show all assignments and unused items.

Worked example

Four players can receive distinct colors, a starting player, and a clockwise direction in one setup receipt.

Limits and interpretation

At most 100 players, colors, and roles per pool are accepted; map edges use the four cardinal directions.
The generator knows no commercial game's setup or intellectual property.
If pool sizes differ, unmatched players or items remain visibly unassigned.

Privacy

Your inputs and generated results stay in this browser. This tool does not put them in a URL, analytics event, server log, or external request.
