Santigo is probably one of the nastiest and pure screw your neighbor boardgames I own. For that reason alone I love it. Usually I’ll only play it with 5 players as I believe that’s the best to play with. In real life money is hidden but the online version it’s not hidden. Five plantation tiles are laid out like bananas, peas, potatoes, etc. which players bid on or pass. Can never bid the same amount as another player. Whoever wins the bid gets first dibs on plantation tile of their choice and places one or two workers on the plantation and places it where they think water will run lest it dry up. Canal overseer is one player who passes first and all others can if they wish bribe that person.
Scoring is done at the end of the game which is your money in your hand plus the income earned from harvest. All plantations that have water produce their respective fruit / vegetables. Income is your number of workers times base of your plantation. As you can see green color (mrbass) has four workers on peas and there are 7 pea plantations all connected there I get 4 x 7 = 28 as seen below in the scoring screenshot.
