Rule details

The first player takes the dice bag and begins the first pass. The second pass runs in reverse order, so the last player takes two turns in succession.

The solo variant has one human player taking both turns in each round.

If there’s a tie

The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
