Who goes first in WordCraft?
Artipia Games English base-game rulebook, 2022 copyright
Whoever most recently mixed ingredients of any kind starts the first round. Turns then proceed clockwise.
Rule details
In later rounds, the player with the fewest cubes on Achievement cards starts; if tied, the tied player farthest clockwise from the previous round's first player starts.
The team variant uses the same turn order, with teams taking turns.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
