In multiplayer, whoever woke up earliest today goes first.

Rule details

Give that player the start player marker. Turns proceed clockwise: place a tile if able, optionally take an action, then draw a tile.

Finish the last round so that everyone has the same number of turns. The player to the marker holder’s right takes the last turn.

In solo mode, Ulrir always receives the start player marker and acts before the human player. Turns then alternate.
