I'm having a really hard time keeping track of player order when it comes to placing extra canals at the end of each round. Since only one can be placed per round, this makes figuring out when you have the option to place critical - my choice of plantation, where to place it, and how much to bribe could be very different if I know that I'll have the first choice of whether to place my extra canal.

In the FTF game, first chance to place a canal goes to the person to the left of the current overseer. In the SBW game, it appears that player order is constantly being rearranged in the list at the top of the screen, and the CO position in that list changes as well. Sometimes the CO is at the top of the list, sometimes at the bottom. How is player order determined? Does it go down the list from the CO? What if they're at the bottom? There have been a couple of times when I wanted to place an extra canal, but couldn't figure out whether I'd have first choice or last.

The implementation of player order in the game is really confusing to me. Can anyone clarify?

The player order ALWAYS shows table order with the CO at the bottom. So placing an extra canal will always start at the top, and work it's way down.
