How does one start a Solo game?

[asp3]

I tried to set up a solo game but when I click on the Start button nothing happens. I'd like to set up a turn based solo game so that I can return to it at my leisure to learn it. It seems like an interesting game but I don't want to devote a solid block of time to complete a solo game.

I haven't played a solo game of anything on BGA so it might be my ignorance about solo games in general. If so I apologize for clogging up the Earth forum.

Agreed.

There is actually a bug for starting solo games, but also a WORKAROUND:
It seems, solo games are still working in the old lobby.

Go to "Play now", then change from "Automatic" to "Manual" on the top of the page if necessary. When you create the table, first switch from "normal mode" to "training mode". Then reduce the player number to 1.

The easiest way I think is to go to the game page https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=earth and then select Solo from the player count menu dropdown. Then make sure you've select a Turn-based game and then click Start Now.

The game is Premium, make sure you are a Premium member too!

Folks, thank you for the suggestions. I'll give them a try tomorrow or this weekend.
