I play mostly multiplayer games (90% of the time) and going first is
a monsterious advantage. It is rare that three people can put down 18
challenges before I get to go (if I was going first). I also have the
chance to get down the troll w/gear first or two cheepo runners and some
gear. No one really loads down the first guys objective because that
would leave the number two guy wide open for a free bee. So the chances
of having a second turn sucessfull run is rather large. Also in
multiplayer games going first has the added benifit of being able to see
16 cards... thats quite an advantage if your looking for a specific card
to give you that beginning of game edge.
