Who goes first in Adventure Games: The Grand Hotel Abaddon?
Thames & Kosmos English rules, ©2021, code 695134-02-170221
Whoever most recently read a ghost story goes first.
Rule details
The criterion specifies reading a ghost story. The rulebook does not add watching a film or show as an alternative.
Individual turns proceed clockwise, with movement, revealing a location card, and one action in that order.
For solo play, control two or more characters of your choice. Specific instructions on cards or in the adventure book take precedence over the general rules.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
