Josh Lee KwaiHostReggie the ArcadeGuestWhen you roll the dice, it determines what seat order you're in, and it matters more than you think.

Yeah, and not just, like, who goes first, second, third, and fourth, but also, like, how you act in relation to the geography of where you're sitting versus certain opponents.
Yeah, is the control player to your right, uh, is the Voltron player to your left? It all makes a difference in how you could think while you're playing the game.

Yeah, I think, I think a lot of players don't think about it enough, uh, when they're making decisions or political deals, or, like, who...

W- what do you remove or who do you attack? Like, uh, I think a lot of players don't calculate that in, and I find myself forgetting to calculate it in sometimes.

So this is gonna be a fun episode to discuss what I think is probably the most unexplored, like, strategical area of Commander.
Let's talk about the most obvious side of this conversation, the difference between going first and going last.

Uh, but out of the 154 games that have been on the channel, the player in seat one won 27.27% of the games.

Yeah, remember, each, uh, of the four players, if everything was completely equal, should get a 25%-
