A companion for your hex-tile settlement board
Photograph your physical board once and PlayItAgain rebuilds it, every terrain tile, number, and port, right on your phone. Fix anything by hand, then track resources, development cards, and score for the whole table as you play.
Why I built this
Have you ever started a long game on a hex-tile settlement board and just couldn't finish it? I have, more than once. Packing up a half-finished board usually meant the game was simply over, so I built PlayItAgain to save it exactly where it stood. Scan the board, keep every player's cards, remember whose turn it was, and come back whenever you're ready to finish the game you actually wanted to finish.
Anthony, creator of PlayItAgain
Four steps from a physical board to a fully tracked game.
Name the game, add players, and pick a color for each one. Forget to assign a color? PlayItAgain flags it before you save, instead of leaving you wondering later why the game won't start.
Line your real board up inside the on-screen hexagon guide and take a photo. On-device machine learning reads every tile's terrain and number, finds every port, and rebuilds the whole layout for you. No typing, no manual setup, and the photo never leaves your phone.
Didn't get a clean scan, or want to build a board from scratch? Tap any hex, settlement, city, road, or port to edit it directly. A soft purple glow always shows exactly what you're changing, and nothing is finalized until you say so.
Track resources, development cards, and score for every player right on your phone. Each hand stays private by default until you press and hold to reveal it. Largest Army and Longest Road each get a one-tap bonus card so there's never any doubt who currently holds them, and a seating diagram tracks turn order too, with a glowing banner spelling out exactly whose turn it is, so picking a paused game back up next week never starts with an argument about who was supposed to go next.
No internet connection, ever. Scanning, editing, and tracking all happen right on your device.
There's no account, no server, and no analytics. Your boards and your players' cards stay exactly where you left them.
One app that feels at home on either screen.
However your table happens to be turned, ports and terrain are recognized in their real positions.
Save as many games as you like and jump back into any of them from the home screen.
Every game you save stays put, so you can pick a table back up next week exactly how you left it.
A tap-to-assign seating diagram doubles as a turn tracker, so resuming a paused game never starts with an argument.

PlayItAgain is built to work entirely on your device. This page explains, in plain language, what that means for your data.
PlayItAgain does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. There is no account to create, no server the app talks to, and no analytics or advertising software of any kind built in. Everything the app knows about your games stays on your device.
Board layouts, player names and colors, scores, and resource/ development-card counts are saved locally on your device using Apple's on-device storage frameworks. None of it is uploaded anywhere. If you delete the app, that data is gone with it.
PlayItAgain uses your camera only to photograph your physical board so it can be digitized. That photo is processed entirely on your device using on-device machine learning models. It is never uploaded, transmitted, or shared, and the app has no way to send it anywhere even if it wanted to, since it makes no network requests at all.
PlayItAgain does not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and doesn't use any third-party SDKs that do either.
PlayItAgain does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, regardless of age, for the simple reason that it doesn't collect information at all.
If anything about how PlayItAgain handles data ever changes, this page will be updated to reflect it.
Questions about this policy or the app in general can go to playitagainkolonie@gmail.com.
