There are two games (that I know of) on SBW that have a unique turn order based on your position at the table - Amun Re and Santiago. It seems like there would be some strategy involved with this when playing FTF but there is not really a way to show this on SBW. Not sure how hard it would be to add a number or diagram showing the seating position at the table.
Great work.
Thanks
(just putting the poll to see if others think it would be helpful or I'm just alone in left field.) |

| It comes up in Amun Re, when taking rewards ties are broken in CW order from the highest bidder, also, bidding order happens in CW order. So in some cases bidding 2nd, right after the starting player, is much nicer than bidding last. |

Yes, that is correct, but I believe at that point the highest bid has just become the new start player. IE before bidding the order goes A B C D E, and the bids are A=5 B=4 C=1 D=1 E=4, A is the high bidder and the new start player, then B, then C D E. Even though E tied for 2nd in amount, they are last in tie breaking order. I might be off on the timing of the rule, but the idea is how I've seen it play out. |

| Amun-Re it seems easy to pick, but in Santiago I still struggle to get the new start player being the player to the left of the canal overseer. |

The SBW implementation changes the starting player (pharaoh) after Phase 4 is complete (offerings made and rewards taken), which follows the sequence described in the rule book. |

| I don't play Amun-Re but I do play Santiago and have often thought this. In Santiago, SBW switches the order once the auction is done from highest to lowest. Thing is, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of figuring out what the normal turn order is and that matters for, say, placing extra canals. It'd be really helpful if it was easy to figure out because I've gotten this wrong to my detriment before. |
