I don't know if they changed it in the new edition, but it looks like you are playing the trade goods wrong. You place a worker in the first box and so on, so that the first player chooses which trade good they want when the box is executed. It looks like you are playing where you place a worker on the good that you want.

Even if you are playing wrongly:

1) I think that it's a good variant anyways :meeple: , and

2) Great pic!

Both trade goods and buildings are to be placed as a group next to the appropriate workers placement boxes, not on them. That way, it's not known which trade good/building each player is planning to take until you are resolving that box. This adds a necessary level of uncertainty to placing workers in these two areas, and increases the importance of placing your worker first/early. Often the trade goods are obvious, but it's often less obvious which building a particular player wants.

No, we were actually playing it the way you're saying. We put the trade goods and buildings in the spots just to save space, but in placing colonists, it was their position (number 1, 2, 3, etc.) that was important, not the actual trade good/building that was in the space they occipied.
