## Description
Start Player is the ultimate solution to the classic 'who goes first?' debate that always takes longer than it should. With a deck full of hilarious and random criteria — like 'who has the most unbuttoned buttons' or 'who is the tallest' — you settle the issue in seconds. It's perfect for anyone who's wasted too much time arguing over who starts and just wants to get the game going. The game is super quick (literally 1 minute) and works with any number of players, from 2 to a crowd. Ideal for laid-back groups who enjoy lighthearted fun and want to speed up the game setup.

## FAQ
### How many players can play?
2 to 99 players — yes, it works even with crowds!

### How long does it take?
1 minute, literally. It's just to decide who starts the game.

### Do you need another game to use it?
No, but it's meant to be used before other games to speed up choosing the first player.

### Is it hard to learn?
There's nothing to learn: you just draw a card and follow the criterion on it.

### Is it worth it for solo players?
No, unless you want to decide by yourself who starts a solo game (which doesn't make much sense).
