Who goes first in Trickerion: Legends of Illusion?
Mindclash revised retail English rules, ©2019
Randomize the players’ markers on the Initiative Order track. The player in its first position acts first.
Rule details
The person who last wore a top hat chooses a Magician first during setup, with that choice proceeding clockwise. This does not determine the opening Initiative Order.
With two players, use the first and third Initiative Order spaces.
Character placement follows Initiative Order after simultaneous assignment planning.
In later turns, lower Fame means earlier initiative. Players tied on Fame reverse their relative order. Skip this reordering in the first turn.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
