Who goes first in Gingerbread House?
Lookout Games 2018 English rulebook
Choose a starting witch; the rulebook suggests the player who last visited a forest as an example.
Rule details
The forest-visit criterion is an example, not a requirement.
During setup, character cards are chosen beginning with the player to the starting witch's right and proceeding counterclockwise.
The starting witch takes the first game turn, followed by the other players clockwise.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
