Who goes first in Diamant?

IELLO English revised edition

Players choose whether to continue exploring or return to camp, then reveal their Decision cards simultaneously. There is no individual first decision turn.

If your rules call for a random choice, use the player picker.

Rule details

Reveal the top Expedition card before the group’s first decision. Repeat the simultaneous decisions before revealing each subsequent Expedition card.

If there’s a tie

The rulebook doesn’t say. If you need a tie-break, pick a player at random.
