Who goes first?
From the publisher’s rulebook

Who goes first in Streets?

Sinister Fish English base rules, ©2021

Streets publisher rulebook cover

The player with the most “hipster cred” goes first.

Rule details

Turns proceed clockwise from that player.

Solo mode uses a different sequence: build and score for yourself, then build and score for the Grifter, then draw your replacement Building.

Our interpretation

The rulebook does not define a measure for “hipster cred”; the group must agree how to apply it.
