Who goes first in Gaia Project?
Feuerland / Z-Man Games English rulebook, 2017
Determine a first player using any method you like; that player takes the first player marker.
If your rules call for a random choice, use the player picker.
Rule details
Actions go clockwise from the first player each round.
The first player to pass in a round takes the first player marker.
In a solo game against the Automa, you take the first player marker.
An optional variable turn order uses the turn order card instead of clockwise order.
If there’s a tie
The rulebook doesn’t say. If you need a tie-break, pick a player at random.
