Several phases exist within OpenSettlers. The main phase is GamePhase. This phase defines the current state of the game. Several GamePhases exist:

Lobby
- Game waits for nough players to join the game
DetermineFirstPlayer
- Dices are rolled by each player, highroller starts. When multiple highrollers are present, all highrollers roll again untill there is a single highroller.
- The highroller (game starter) places the first port, places the first town, and starts with the first turn.
PlacePorts
- Only when the map requires players to place ports, this phase is executed.
- Highroller places the first port, player after him second, et cetera.
InitialPlacement
- Every player places a town & road, and then another town & road.
- Optionally, if Tournament Starting Rules is selected in game options, the second town is a city, and a third road is placed.
