Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
I have always liked the other official map distribution for normal game mode IRL: players choose from the available double sided maps in reverse player order. I would like this option to be included in the game.

Report history
Adding the method of map selection specified on page 4 of the rules would benefit later players.
Quote from rules:
"Alternatively, you could also lay out player count +1
advanced zoo maps and choose 1 each in reverse order of play"

So I really think it should be implemented here on BGA as well!
I like it far better than the current BGA-"normal" option.
Firstly, because I think starting player advantage isn't fully compensated in an average game by only one appeal per player. This is backed up by the stats on BGA: The winners have an average starting position of 1.43, while all players have 1.54. So the players later in turn order can use an additional buff.
Secondly, because this way, fewer maps are distributed in total than with the other rule "each player draws two and chooses one". Which probably means there are more games without the presumably somewhat stronger maps and more different maps get played.
