Which game has your favourite rule for deciding the first player?

Deciding who goes first in a game can be tough. Most of the time I'll let Steph do it, just because I'd such a nice person (😇) but sometimes a game has such an epic rule for choosing that we just have to run with it.

For Steph, her favourite first player rule comes from The Great Heartland Hauling Co. It reads "The player with the best moustache, or failing that, the longest hair, is first player". Anyone who's met Steph knows she's a shoe in to win that, though I won't tell you which part applies!

For me, my favourite is any game where the oldest player goes first. That's a rarity, because designers seem to want to give the young an advantage (like they need it!). I'm the oldest player in our gaming circle, so this one always benefits me.

I'm sure there are a ton of other great ones out there, so we'd love to hear which game has your favourite!
