How are workers placed on the action board during setup?
The rulebook's setup step describes this directly and merges it with Round 1, Phase 1.

With 1–3 players, draw a Quadrant card and put one Worker on each action space only in the Quadrants that card does not list, then remove the card. In a 4-player game no Workers go on the board at setup. Either way, Phase 1 of Round 1 is skipped, because setup already does its job. The setup placement and Phase 1 are alternatives, not two steps.
