Flamecraft
Can you start a game with random non-starter shops instead of the six starter shops?
The designer allows it with a balance warning; the rulebook only addresses varying the Shop deck, not the starter shops.

You can, but it is not the standard setup. The designer says non-starter shops normally appear only after a shop fills, so starting with them could unbalance shop powers and Fancy Dragons, but adds it's your game. The rulebook separately lets you vary the Shop deck once you know the game.
