When do we choose the first player? Before or after players choose cards and food?
The rules say the first player is chosen (randomly) after all players have chosen which bird cards, bonus card, and food to keep. But in more competitive environments (like digital adaptations or tournaments), it is an official variant to have the turn order determined before everyone chooses which cards and food to keep.
I understand that the publisher has decided that " in more competitive environments (like digital adaptations or tournaments), it is an official variant to have the turn order determined before everyone chooses which cards and food to keep." stonemaiergames.com/games/wingspan/rules/
In which case for friendly games on BGA there should be the option of playing the game as provided in the rules provided with the physical game. Given that "the BGA implementation, the first player should be determined before initial discards" is an official VARIANT, should it not be available as a variant and not the sole option? This would allow the game to be played as in the official rulebook.

Problem occurs at every gamestart I have been in (with different opponents but all have been games between friends with no time limit). It occurs at set up before any player has done done anything.
There is no option for playing the game as in the published rules.
