How do I play a game solo?

Post by LanceH »

Is it possible to play a one-player game? How do I launch that without the game automatically searching for other players?

Any of these games can be played solo:

Create a new table in Manual mode, then set it to Training mode (required for solo mode of most games), then set the minimum and maximum number of players to 1, then start.

Okay, I've created the table in Manual mode, set it to Training mode, set the min & max players to 1, but I don't see a Start button. The place where I think it would be says "Open table to other players". So now what? Thanks.

Cool, I wasn't aware of solo mode.

The conterintuitive "open table for other players" confused me more than once while playing with friends/a specific group. There "open table for players" would be better.

For solo mode probably just "open table"

How do I play a game alone? I usually cry. Not a loud crying but a quiet, sad crying. I also do it while sitting.
