Another method which is applicable to certain 2-player games, which I find interesting, is "I-cut-you-choose" [1]. An arbitrary player (or the more experienced) sets up the initial board positions or takes the first move ("cut"). The other player then chooses whether to go first or second ("choose"). This encourages the "cutter" to set up a fair initial position. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_choose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_choose
