Rule details

The two-player rules alternate the starting player in later rounds.

The three-player and four-player team variants refer back to the two-player rules for play order, with their own clockwise or team-turn instructions.

If there’s a tie

The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
