Comments on First Player for Android

★★★★★ Juan Sierra · Sep 24, 2024
Simply amazing! This is a true passion project to bring all the silly first player rules in an easy to use/search/retrieve format, to help board games solve the ubiquitous "who goes first?" problem. It's also just hilarious to read!
★★★★★ Jonathan Shanks · Feb 19, 2024
A fun little app to randomly pick a first player rule if the games you play always end up with the same player starting. Also fun to scroll through and see some of the silliest ones!

Description by Kjetil Valle Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
The most useless (and most often ignored) rule of any board game is usually the first player rule. But useless does not necessarily mean boring. These rules can be quite quirky and fun!

The problem is that they tend to be fixed, often letting the same player go first every time the game is played. And let's be honest, even the funniest rule gets stale rather quickly…

So, what if you could use a new rule every time you played? This app contains more than 500 different "first player" rules, collected from various board games for you to search through. Or get a random rule to use for your board game session by the press of a button.

And if you're interested in the game the rule came from there is of course a link back to the game's page on BoardGameGeek.com where you can find more information.

Recent changes:
Added 9 new rules, for a new total of 1268 rules in the collection.
