Who goes first in The Mind?
Nürnberger-Spielkarten-Verlag English rules
No one goes first: players do not take turns in any particular order. After everyone signals they are ready, whoever believes they hold the lowest available card simply plays it.
Rule details
Before each level, each ready player places one hand palm down on the table; once everyone is ready, hands are removed and play begins.
Each player must always play the lowest card they hold, one card at a time, without sharing any information.
