What this card does

You may play this card before the coin toss decides who starts.

It stops the coin flip and gives you the first turn automatically.

If both players use it, the coin flip happens as normal.

What it does

First Ticket

Before you flip a coin to decide who goes first in a game, you may play this card. Don't flip that coin, and you go first. If both players play First Ticket, flip the coin as normal. (You may play only 1 First Ticket before you flip that coin.) You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

This card removes the luck factor from starting the game. It ensures your child takes the opening turn unless their opponent also plays one.
