Who goes first in Horse Fever?
Cranio Creations English rulebook, Family and Board Game modes
Roll a Sprint Die; its color selects the starting-player criterion in the rulebook's Tie-breaker Table.
Rule details
Green: the player with the most missing diopters. Blue: the heaviest player. Red: the player with the most pimples on their face.
Black: the smallest player. White: the player who can do the most push-ups on one hand. Yellow: the first player to touch the Cranio Creations logo on the back of the box.
The first player takes the First Player card and both Sprint Dice. Play proceeds clockwise, and the First Player card passes clockwise at the end of each round.
The Board Game mode uses the Family Game setup, including this starter selection, except for its stated changes.
Our interpretation
The rulebook calls this color-keyed starting-player chart the Tie-breaker Table. Its color criteria determine the initial starter; it does not state a separate procedure for ties within a chosen criterion.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
