Who goes first in ImmunoWars?
ImmunoWars - English 2023 second edition - 2 to 6 players
All players roll one die. The highest roller begins the startup turn by drawing their initial hand.
If your rules call for a random choice, use the player picker.
Rule details
During the startup turn, each player draws four cards from either deck, replacing any Trapcards or Random Events drawn. Normal play starts once everyone has completed this startup turn.
The shared startup instructions follow both Normal and Blitzkrieg preparation; those modes begin with different health and energy values.
The startup draw is separate from a normal turn, which begins by gaining energy before taking three actions.
The booklet does not separately identify who takes the first normal turn after these draws.
If there’s a tie
The rulebook doesn’t say. If you need a tie-break, pick a player at random.
