## Official Rulings
- *(2019-11-12)* A player’s “opening hand” is the hand of cards the player has after all players have finished taking mulligans.
- *(2019-11-12)* If more than one player wishes to reveal Impatient Iguana in their opening hand, the starting player will remain unchanged if the original starting player is one of those players. Otherwise, the closest of those players to the right of the original starting player will be the new starting player.
