Santiago

About this game

Bid on plantation tiles, place them on the arid landscape, then bribe the canal overseer to direct precious water toward your crops. Santiago is an auction game where the real action happens after the bidding: one player controls the canal each round and can be bribed to route water to specific plantations. Unwatered crops die, making the canal placement devastatingly important. The negotiation and bribery create a ruthlessly interactive economic game.
