It just says which depot the trade good was added to that round.

Thank you. I'm realizing I don't understand what's going on with the trade goods in the upper left corner at all. Can someone please explain to me (like I'm five year olds) how that functions? I didn't see it explained in the tutorial and I'm not sure where to the look in the rules PDF.

Update: I figured it out. In case anyone else is wondering: the white trade goods boxes in the upper left corner are the round markers (5 rounds per phase--kind of like the cubes in Wingspan). They are randomly filled at the beginning of each phase. At the beginning of each phase, the white die is rolled. After each round (after each player plays once), one tile gets put into the trade goods depot with the same number as the white die.

I was wondering how people kept track of what round it was without looking at the play-by-play text recap... I'm surprised I could successfully play 9 games and win 7 without understanding how that functioned til now, lol.
