If both females and males are playing, the game always starts with the youngest female going first. 

If the game is being played with only males or only females, the youngest person goes first.

After the first player has completed their turn, move clockwise to determine the next player.

After the first round in the duel is complete, take turns going first by rotating clockwise (be sure to remember who went first in the previous round).

Each new round in the duel, a new player goes first.  Players should never go first twice in a row.

All players in the duel will have the opportunity to roll their Polydi in order to complete the round.

• If there is any confusion as to who’s turn it is to go first, please ask the nearest adult.

A clockwise motion is one that proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back to the top.   When playing a game sitting at a table or sitting on the floor, using the clockwise or counterclockwise (opposite direction then clockwise) method works wonderfully to keep track of who's turn it is to go next.  As with many of the rules in Polydi, if all players agree, you can change the direction of the game from Clockwise to Counterclockwise.  However, according to the official rules, players take their turn in a clockwise direction.
