Can you trigger things on game start?

I would like to activate a trigger when the game starts. No button to push, no user interaction at all. I need to display some text int he log and shuffle cards, etc. to set up the game and I want to do it AUTOMATICALLY for players. Is there a way to make this happen?

In short - no

You need a custom class to do this.

If you search the forums, a developer has already written a proposed change to
auto fire a GKC on start up - this would do what you want and I think it can be
imported as a custom class now already for testing
