Why? The probability of not starting 10 consecutive 3-player games is 1 in 58. Surely, you're not saying that the probability of future event changes depending on what happened in the past...

If there is a bug, I wonder if it may have something to do with the preferred color choice.

JettaC wrote: ↑26 March 2022, 03:43 I also find that the starting player is not really random. After I join the paid member, I hasn't been starting player for more than 15 games (I always played 3-player game). Is it related to which I was the one who open the game?
Very strange...

I checked the last 40 games of JettaC: 37 were 3-player, 3 were 4-player. JettaC was only twice starting player of the game (on game 36 and 40). Not being starting player in the last 35 games is really rather unusual.

These both games (with JettaC as starting player) have been played on 4th of march.
- Maybe there has been an update around that date affecting starting player choice?
- Does hosting the game or being premium member make any difference?
- Does this happen also on other games?
- Or was it really only bad luck? (JettaC, is this continuing to you or not?)

We will probably need more information. If you are concerned, please share your clues on https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=61746
