• City of HorrorGive the First Player token to whoever looks most like a zombie. That player moves a character first during the Character Movement phase.
• Ghost StoriesThe most recent person to watch a kung-fu movie starts. Turns then proceed clockwise.
• Just OneRandomly choose a player to be the first active player. That player draws the first card while the others write clues.
• Last BastionWhoever most recently defended a person or an honorable cause takes the first turn. Continue clockwise.
