Who goes first in Tawantinsuyu: The Inca Empire?
English Board&Dice base-game rules, 28-page publisher booklet
Whoever harvested a vegetable most recently starts. Alternatively, use any random selection method the group chooses.
Rule details
During multiplayer setup, the starter chooses a starting Weaving tile first, followed clockwise.
Before taking your first turn, place your High Priest on a Coricancha space. This initial placement is separate from the Moving the High Priest secondary action.
In solo play, the human takes the first turn, although Axomamma receives its starting Weaving tile first.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
