Who goes first in Carnegie?
Pegasus-hosted English Carnegie rulebook, 20 pages
The most daring player goes first.
Rule details
That player receives the first-player and Timeline markers and selects the first round's Timeline.
The earlier Housing and Department setup choice begins with the player to the starter's right and runs counterclockwise.
In solo play, you choose the first round's Timeline before Andrew chooses a later round's.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
