Who goes first in Australia?
Ravensburger English rules, game no. 26358-5
The player who thinks they know the most about Australia goes first, or the group may choose a starter by any method.
Rule details
The youngest player takes the first setup card, with setup picks continuing around the table; this does not determine who takes the first game turn.
The simple and full games use the same opening rule. Turns proceed clockwise.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
