• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
Would be nice if there was a way to pick which faction you play as rather than randomly passing them to players. I've played China 3 times in a row, so would be nice for the ability to have some more variety (if i wanted to)

Report history
Bga by default swap the order of player.
But from what I see actually each player start with a random faction.
That mean if you play two games of 2 players in a row, you have 50% chance to have twice the same faction in a row.
To resolve this small problem you can either:
- do this suggestion
- make the first player always have the easier (or harder) faction.
On page 16 of the rulebook, it states "Between yourselves, decide who is going to play which World Power." so I would expect this in a complete implementation.
Rulebook, p16, section "Choose World Players" has a table that shows for 1 player World Power used = Any (see Reference card)
I think your original interpretation was correct, @Papa Boris.
Also I did a ctrl+F on the rules and did not find the word "faction". Why do you think the use of factions is how the game should be interpreted when factions is - seemingly - not used in the rule book?
