Answer

Ruling: The first player draws a card on their first turn in a 2-player game, but does not draw a card on their first turn in games with more than 2 players.

Nuances:

  • In multiplayer (3+ players), the first player only plays with their starting hand of 4 cards without drawing
  • This is a balancing mechanism because the first player has advantages (going first, being one turn ahead in reactions throughout the game)
