FTA and 2(3) actions on first turn

[Mizywill]

Of the strategy games I would compare Outwitters more with Go than Chess and the second turn player does get a handicap in Go because the first turn has the advantage.

I still don't know for sure if this is true of Outwitters but it would seem that the first player has the opportunity to force the hand of the second player which is an advantage.

The problem is that this handicap in Go goes into effect when your totaling the points at the end of the game and it would be hard to implement such a handicap here and I think limiting starting wits is overkill and switches the advantage to the other side now.

I think the best solution is just to have a que that alternates starting turns for league games.

Also, what about allowing the starting player 5 wits but limiting what he can use on the first turn. This would be more fair than starting with different wits.
