Is there any disadvantage for the starting player?

You really don't see the advantage to always go first in every of your turns from start on?

Whenever the starting player makes his turn he ALWAYS lead in wits income. So on turn 1 he has his starting unit + 5 wits compared to the other players starting units.

On second players turn he has just equal values here (starting units + 5 wits)

The second turn of start player let him do action with starting units + 5 wits + usually 6 wits vs starting unit +5 wits.

Second turn of second player just equalize this for him.

Do you see whenever the starting players turn is he has more and whenever second players turn is he just has equalized stuff. (this is what I meant having "half turn" advantage)

And of course its a bigger advatange in this game than in chess because chess is only 1 turn each and 16 starting units on each site + longer way to opponent + far better protected king. And even with all this differences there is still a small advantage for white in chess. Max bigger advantage in outwitters with less starting units, 5 turns per player + shorter ways to get in contact + less protected base.
