It sounds to me like Option 1 is correct and that the youngest player can place a farmer on the fork tile. Otherwise, why specify that the youngest player plays the fork tile - why not just have the first two tiles placed and then start the game with the youngest player playing the third tile?
Then again, the android exozet game you can place a farmer on the fork which makes, just as you said, option 1 correct and we will vote on this next time we play at my house.
Interesting.. We just mix the fork in with the rest of the river tiles, and play it whenever it comes up. So, nyah.
As in the normal game, every player may deploy a follower as they wish. No follower can be deployed to the river itself.
I appreciate all the answers, albeit quite unanimous. However, think we lost track of why there was a confusion in the first place. As my original post shows, the rule text itself from CAR is not that very clear on this matter. Even if there are annotations and clarifications elsewhere in the document, it should be obvious right there where I read it the first time, and where most of us will go when need an answer to this question: The River II fork placement section.It could be as simple as replacing this:The spring tile is placed in the middle of the table. The youngest player then places the fork. Then each player takes turns placing a tile...with this:The spring tile is placed in the middle of the table. The youngest player then places the fork and then may place a farm on it. Then each player takes turns placing a tile...
