After the decks have been shuffled, the players determine which one of them will choose who takes the first turn. In an individual game, or in the first game of a match, the players may use any mutually agreeable method (flipping a coin, rolling dice, etc.) to do so. In a match of several games, the loser of the previous game chooses who takes the first turn. If the previous game was a draw, the player who made the choice in that game gets to make the choice in this game.
