Adjustments to the Alpha Games review process

[AtrusThot]

Hello, I'm new as a reviewer, and am still trying to find my marks.
I don't seem to be able to invite more than one friend to apha games, is that normal ?

How do we play the alpha games again? do you have to be premium or something? because I have no idea how to play an alpha game or create an alpha game. Am I just missing something, perhaps another forum about this? Thx!

The best way is to become a reviewer. Otherwise you need to be friends with a reviewer that would like to have you help them test.

Or you wait until they become beta games, and go wild.

But how do you become a reviewer?

I was granted access to the Beyond the Sun alpha test. When I try to invite non-tester accounts to the game I receive an error that only testers may join.

Was the new policy on inviting non-testers to tables rolled back?

Only reviewers (the ones that give themselves access via the reviews page) are able to invite other people to come play.

Can you please clarify what the invite limit is? I played 2 games of Railroad Ink yesterday then when I tried to invite a friend to play another game today it said I has exceeded my limit. And yet I need to play 3 games to post a review??

This latter decision is baffling to me. This seems to be raising the bar too high. Why does it take 3 plays to form an opinion on a game??
