  You can do the same thing by just rolling to see who goes first…

    Technically you do that as well, but the no-purchase first round make sure it is as random as possible because you roll multiples time and the dice change hand. Kinda like a warm up round as you’re now racing to get to the end of first round and get to draw chance and chest.

    You can also don’t do that, it’s up to you.

      I commented this elsewhere, but feel obliged to copy it in here as well:

      The player that goes first has the EXACT SAME statistical advantage, regardless how many round trips you do before allowing purchases. No matter how many times you roll the dice, each player will, on average, be ≈7 places in front of the person that rolls after them (not exactly 7, because there are rules for rolling again on matching dice etc.). This is true for the first roll of the dice, and it is true for the millionth roll. The distance between two consecutive players is on average equal to the mean number of places you move on a turn.

        Statistically yeah, who rolled first get the advantage, when you played like 100 round of it, then add up all the data and get the average, the first one to roll will on average ahead of everyone, but…we’re playing one game, the first one to roll will sometime roll low and the last to roll might roll double and get ahead, this is why i don’t think statistic really matter here because the amount of roll one game have is statistically insignificant to get the desired result. “The house always win” did not mean the house win every round, it just mean if the game goes for 100 round the house will come out on top statistically, and that applies here.
