Ah, that was it.
Thanks.

What's up with this? As of a day or 2 ago, Simple Game behaved as it always has (showing possible tables you could join, and if you started one yourself, showing yourself at a table and showing other players as they joined, until you were ready to start the game).

Here I explain 2 rules I might ask participants to follow if they play in games I create. Rule 1 During the allowance* turn, the number of cubes of the same color that may be purchased is limited. (*The "allowance turn" is the one described by the rules as the first turn after driver selec...

Ah, thanks.
