Mark Planner

Before you stamp a farm, ask which pairs can even hit that hex. This planner lists every two-dice combination that sums to a number from 2 through 12. Tap the totals you care about. The pair list updates.

Pick the tile numbers you want to harvest. The planner lists every two-dice pair that lights them.

Target Marks

Dice pairs that hit those Marks

    Use it with Island Layout when you are choosing corners, and with Dice Odds after a roll. Odds is “what did I roll.” The planner is “what should I even try to roll.”

    How to read the pairs

    7 has many faces: 1+6, 2+5, 3+4. That is why 7 clusters feel generous on fair dice. 2 is only 1+1. 12 is only 6+6. Those farms demand specialty dice or a miracle keep. The dice tier list is blunt about that. 10 is 4+6 and 5+5. If you never keep fives or sixes, you do not farm 10s. Stop blaming the dragon.

    When two target numbers share a face (8 wants 2+6, 3+5, 4+4; 9 wants 3+6, 4+5), a single keep can hunt both. That overlap is a better board than 2 and 12, which share nothing.

    Placement drill

    1. Play three seasons without new farms.
    2. Note which totals appeared.
    3. Tap those totals here.
    4. Stamp farms only on corners that touch those totals.
    5. Buy a recipe that cooks that food (recipes tier list).
    6. Then bias the tray.

    Skip the drill and you will pave a 12 because the hex art was pretty. The planner exists to embarrass that instinct.

    Late-year use

    When land scorches, tap only the numbers that still live. Do not hunt a burned 8. When you pocket an extra-Mark tool, you can afford a rarer pair for one season; see Shop Tools. Do not rebuild the island around that rental.

    What the planner assumes

    Two six-sided faces. If a specialty die can show something wilder than 1-6, treat the Codex as law and type whatever face you see into Dice Odds instead. Pairwise addition still holds.

    This is a fan widget, not a trainer that auto-plays. JavaScript must be on. If you came from a “how to find” search: you find harvests by lighting Marks, and you find Marks by adding two faces. The list under the buttons is the whole secret.

    Continue to How to Play if the vocabulary is still new, or the walkthrough if you already know and still starve.

    A five-minute survey using only this list

    Play three seasons. Tick which totals appeared at least twice. Those ticks are your legal cluster. Unticked 2s and 12s are tourism. Stamp farms on the ticks, then stop opening the planner for wishlists. Re-open it when a specialty die changes which pairs are realistic, or when fire deletes a tick and you need to know whether 9 still shares faces with your surviving 8.

    If two ticks share a keep (8 and 9 both like 3+5 / 4+5 families), that overlap is the board. If your ticks are 2 and 11, you are fighting the table. The dice tier list will not save a 2-and-11 grocery without a very specific tray, and even then Island Layout would rather you moved — except you cannot move. Survey first. Stamp second. If you already stamped, the planner will not unscrew the building. It will only tell you which remaining corners are still legal so the next farm is not a second souvenir. That is the entire “how to find” answer: find the pairs, then find the corner that touches those pairs. If this still feels abstract, open Getting Started for the contract and come back when you know why a Mark lights a hex at all.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Quick answers to the most common questions.

    Why does 7 show more pairs than 12?

    More face combinations add to 7. Only 6+6 adds to 12 on fair dice.

    Should I farm every number I tap?

    No. Tap the numbers you already roll, then farm those. The planner is a filter, not a wishlist.

    Can I select more than one Mark?

    Yes. Overlap between two totals is how a keep hunts a cluster.

    Does this include rerolls?

    No. It lists legal pairs. Rerolls are how you chase those pairs during a season.
