War Chest
When can I claim initiative, and can it change hands more than once a round?
The designer answered this directly in 2020, consistent with the rulebook.

No. You can claim initiative only if you do not hold the marker, and it can change hands at most once per round. You cannot claim it in advance while holding it, and in a four-player game you cannot take it from your teammate. Initiative never moves on its own; only the Claim Initiative action transfers it.
