Official Answer
If there are multiple shortest paths to San Andreas and multiple players are along those paths, the monster's movement is determined as follows:
- Monsters always move towards San Andreas by taking the shortest route with the fewest symbols.
- If there is a tie, the Monster always prefers to move into a space with a player.
- If it’s still a tie, the player with the First Player Token should decide and move the monster.
So, if after preferring spaces with players there is still a tie, the player with the First Player Token decides which path the monster takes.
This is supported by the following from page 23:
If there is a tie, the Monster always prefers to move into a space with a player. If it’s still a tie, the player with the First Player Token should decide and move the monster.
