Play passes to the left

[AmishBurrito]

According to the rules, teams sit on opposite sides of the board and play passes to the left. This means that if there is a 3v3 or 4v4 game, each team would all go before the other team goes.
I dislike this style, and at the beginning of games, we decide the who is "to each players left" making sure that we alternate between teams.
Who alll plays each way?

i play all team members go at once most of the time. i think this way is quicker.

Here is a variation that we have done with team play. Each team decides on their turn order before initiative is rolled. In other words Team A decides Tom will go first, Dick will go second, and Harry will go third. Team B decides Larry will go first, Mo will go second, and Curly will go third. The selections are done written down without the other team knowing.

Order markers are then placed, initiative is rolled once per team. The teams order is revealed and players take their turns alternating teams according to the predetermined order.

The next round each team can chose a different order.

Neither. We always go from high to low initiative.

Team members sit opposite each other.

Roll Initiative...highest goes first, then play passes to the left.

This got me thinking...what if you alternate teams but choose each turn which player on your team goes. Ofcourse number order will remain intact, so if you do your number 1 marker, you will have to wait for all your teamates to do their #1 before you do #2.

Interesting house rule. We don't get the opportunity to play many 'team' games, but I'll suggest we try this out at some point.

We ALWAYS alternate between teams. Lets say team A and B:
Player A1 marker #1, Player B1 marker #1, player A2 marker #1, player B2 marker #2, and then we start again player A1 marker #2...

Team members sit opposite each other.
Roll Initiative...highest goes first, then play passes to the left.

The official rule is really strange... On a 3 Vs 3 --> three players of the same team moving and attacking in a row!!!!

It's only when reading this thread I realised this is the first "house rule" we did put in place since the very beginning.

This is an interesting way to do it. Worth trying.

That's exactly what we do. Do you chose the team order in secret like we do?

Yes. It is not revealed until after the initiative roll.

It may take longer but by much. so i chose alternating teams.
