Report history
With BGA's game setup, the starting player gets to pick out their first [and sometimes also their second] starting potion according to the marble offering in the dispenser. First player can then use their first turn to "mess up" the dispenser so that the second and third players can't even complete potion. Together with the chain effect of "getting more potions because you already have more completed potions at your disposal," this "bug" strongly improve first player's odds.

Agreed the rules say differently and also gives HUGE advantage to the first player.
