A competitive city-building game where everyone builds on one shared board.
Match/StartingRoads.cs
The StartingRoads class provides a deterministic way to select a random interior coordinate for map initialization. It throws an exception if the provided dimensions are less than three tiles in either direction. It uses the provided seed to initialize a Random object and returns a random Row and Column within the boundaries (1 to N-2).

public static (int Row, int Column) Choose(int width, int height, int seed)
{
if (width < 3 || height < 3) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(width), "Starting roads require a board at least three tiles wide and high.");
var random = new Random(seed);
return (random.Next(1, height - 1), random.Next(1, width - 1));
