Who gets the first turn in a Tabletop Game is often an important question, since the first player to move usually has an advantage (or, in some cases, a disadvantage) over others. In most games, the starting player is determined randomly (e.g. with a dice roll) or based on some in-game criterion (such as white always going first in chessnote though that simply shifts the issue to "Who plays white?"), and card games often have a dealer, with play starting with the player on the dealer's left and continuing clockwisenote again, that shifts the issue to "Who is the dealer?" but some instead base this decision on a criterion extrinsic to the game itself: the characteristics of the participating players, the circumstances the game is played under, who owns it, etc. Interestingly, after the first player is somehow decided upon, the second player is rarely given much thought, with the turns usually just going (counter-)clockwise around the table. Contrast Action Initiative, where an in-game stat determines the turn order. A subtrope of Paradiegetic Gameplay. |

Munchkin rules seem to suggest that the players roll dice and have a heated argument about what the roll results mean and who should go first now, with the owner of the game having the final word. | |

Smash Up: In the original rules, the player who woke up earliest that morning goes first. The Bigger Geekier Box rulebooknote consolidating a series of expansions, each of which has a different go-first rule parodies the trope by stating that player who was most recently abducted by an alien, or failing that the player who was most recently shanghaied by a pirate, or failing that the player who was most recently bitten by a vampire, or... (several more improbable circumstances) goes first. If nobody meets any of the listed criteria, the rules say you'll just have to figure out who goes first on your own. | |

In some versions of Pandemic, the player who was most recently sick begins the game (in others, it's the player who has in-game access to the city with the highest population, which is not this trope). | |

Table Top: The page quote comes from the King of Tokyo episode (starring Wil Wheaton, TotalBiscuit, Wheezy Waiter and Greg Zeschuk), where the players agree to scrap the mechanic of using dice rolls to determine the first player, in favor of letting Greg go first on the grounds that out of the four of them, he has the most impressive beard. In the Pandemic episode, they modified the default rule to start with the player who fell prey to the worst disease, not the most recent. In the Tiny Epic Galaxies episode, Wil scraps the rule that the youngest player goes first (since all the players are roughly the same age), and instead asks the players who was most recently pretending they were in outer space. Inverted in an episode where Wil throws out one game's rule of the person who makes the most money goes first, finding the rule distasteful. |
