All,
Can someone explain this to me?
Does it mean that the person going first in the card distribution round can draw a card instead of laying one down? Is the first person the only one who can do this or can you keep doing it throughout that round?
Also, what is it in the rulebook that says if you are the only one left, you can draw a card to put down. Can you only do this once?
Thx

The main rule is the same no matter the number of players. And that is you do 1 of 2 options. Either A) place a card from your hand into the pool, or B) select the two cards to add to your board, one from the pool and one from your hand, with any remaining in your hand into the pool.
In a 2 player game, you must still choose one of those two options every turn. Before doing so, you also have one more choice to make. You can either flip the top card from the deck and place it into the pool, or not.
You may flip the top card of the deck every time it comes back to your turn. Basically, it is a way to get more cards into the pool to select from which simulates the extra cards that would be available from a third or fourth player.

Every turn in the card distribution phase, if you like, you can flip up [not draw] a card from the stack and toss it into the pile of face-up cards before taking your normal action [playing cards or taking cards].
This is basically just to simulate the cards that would normally be added to the pile by a third or fourth player.
Yes, you can only do this extra card flip one time if you are the last player to draft, since it has to be done at the beginning of your turn and you only get one more "turn" once you are the last player left with cards.

Why would you not do this every time?
I assume if you know there is a good card out there you want, you wouldn't do it since it would give your opponent more options, right?

The cards you want are in your hand and you don't want a card your opponent might want to flip. Otherwise, yea, it's better to flip one.

Giving yourself more choices also gives the other player more choices. Is that going to help them more than it helps you?
By default, we usually flip. It's more fun for both of us to be doing better than both of us doing worse.
