Who goes first in Castles of Mad King Ludwig?
Bezier Games English second edition
Randomly choose the Master Builder, who begins by arranging the rooms and setting their prices. The player on the Master Builder’s left gets the first buying turn.
If your rules call for a random choice, use the player picker.
Rule details

The setup suggests spinning the Master Builder token to choose its first holder.
If there’s a tie
