the player colors are random at all? or have the best predetermined combinations for a fair play ? (on the 2 or 3 players game )

So If you play with the original rules and you are playing with only two players, I think you should definitely pick any pair of colors where the ties are divided 15:15. With 3 to 5 players it's more complicated.

For 3 players, choose red, white and green (or black, blue and yellow).
There are no even combinations for 4 or 5 players.

All you really have to remember is:
Yellow < Red < Blue < Green < Black < Gray and you can figure out everyone's tiebreak value.

This list explains why you MUST play with Red and Black when you play the 2p game.

The table confirms as you would expect, that the six decks have an equal balance of influence across all cards. However, there is an imbalance when it comes to the few cards with suns, where daytime sequence can be critical. The six decks are therefore not equal in this respect (see earlier thread).
Some suns are good to have high influence (e.g. Cards 1 and 2). Some suns are good to have low influence (e.g. Card 14). For some suns, it doesn't really matter (e.g. Card 30). On this basis, I still contest that yellow is the weakest deck. This disadvantage is admittedly small, given the multiple probabilities in play, but is nonetheless real.
BGA is very happy to propose you to play Libertalia, a game from Paolo Mori, published by Marabunta.
