Set-up suggestion

[Coyotek4]

Currently, the only options for initial set-up are 'random' and 'choose' (as in, players choose their A or B side).

I humbly suggest the following alternatives:

(1) 'All A' - all players play on the A side of their given wonder.
(2) 'All B' - all players play on the B side of their given wonder.
(3) 'All A/B' - all players play on the same side of their given wonder (either A or B); the specific side is randomly determined in this version

I suggest this idea because I feel like 'pure random' can favor those who get 'B' sides over those who get 'A' sides.

Thoughts?

Random is per original rules, I see purists playing with it. "Choose a side" is an official variant after people realized some side A wonders are inferior.

Adding "all B" would be Ok, I guess, but it adds nothing - folks can already play on side B.

Since some side A wonders are good (many argue that for Giza and Olympia side A is stronger than side B) and others aren't (i.e. Ephesus and Alexandria) introducing "side A" feels unnecessary.

But what kind of problem are you trying to solve here? As a player, I want a new mode "All A", so that X happens? What is X in your opinion? Of course you can say "so that all play on A side", but why exactly would you want that?
