Who goes first in SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence?
English CGE base-game rules, multiplayer setup
Whoever saw a UFO most recently takes the starting-player marker and starts.
Rule details
Multiplayer turns proceed clockwise. Starting scores are one, two, three and four points in turn order.
The starting marker passes one place to the left between rounds. The first person to pass during a round does not thereby become the next starting player.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
