The best games with dynamically changing start player 2023
Looking for a really good game where the starting order is not so rigid? We have the list with the best games where the starting player changes dynamically (English "Turn Order: Claim Action").
How can the player order change dynamically?
In other games, there is a "first player" each turn - and the other players' moves are made clockwise from the first player. In games with dynamically changing starting player ("Turn Order: Claim Action"), on the other hand, there is a special action to claim the first place (sometimes also the other places) in the starting order for the next turn. If no one performs this special action, the order of the players remains unchanged.
Example of a game with changeable starting order: Azul
In Azul, for example, you can use a small penalty to draw a tile so that you become the starting player in the next round - that is, you get to pick the tiles first.
