To set up a Catan board, first place the hexagonal terrain tiles in a random order to create the island. Then place the number tokens on each tile, ensuring that each number is not repeated on adjacent tiles. Next, place the harbor pieces around the edge of the island. Finally, each player selects a color and places two settlements and two roads on the board to start the game.
