Hello how may I help you? Can you help me with rules to a board game? I can help you with the rules of the board game, but I need to know which game is it. Are you familiar with monopoly? Yes. How do you determine who goes first? Whoever is the hat goes first. we've done that before that won't work. Is there another way ? The person that gets the hat piece goes first. You don't know any other way? I am certain that the person with the hat goes first.
