Orléans helper site

This is a fan made companion site for the Orléans boardgame.

Setup helper

The setup in Orléans normally requires

• different types of goods tiles to be shuffled together,
• certain quantities randomly selected based on player counts
• certain quantities randomly removed based on player counts
• and the remaining tiles sorted by type again to form a supply.

The setup helper aims to bypass this shuffling and resorting by calculating randomized setup numbers for selected and removed goods tiles.

Use

The site is hosted at orleans-companion.appspot.com on Google App engine.
