[solved] How to play my own game ?

Hi,
I follow the tutorial here :
http://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/First_ ... BGA_Studio

I create my project in the "control panel"
I see it in my ftp repository (with the 3 others folder : gomoku/hearts/reversi)
But in the tutorial, I read :
Now, you can try to launch a new game on BGA Studio from the "Play now" menu entry, as you would do on Board Game Arena website.

Find your game in the 'PLAY NOW' section and create a table
Use the 'I want between X and X' players to tick down the maximum players number to the minimum
Click 'Express start': your game launches with the maximum number of players specified. It shows an empty canvas: in the game zone you just have a sentence 'This is your game interface. You can edit this HTML in your ".tpl" file.'.
But I don't see the "I want between X and X" option.
When I click on "Play now", I go to https://studio.boardgamearena.com/lobby and I can choose "Simple Game" / "Arena" or "Tournaments"...

So, the question is may be stupid, but how can I launch my own game (or try to launch my reversi/hearts/gomoku version) ?
Thank you for your help,

Axel

Okay, so after you have clicked 'Play Now' the settings at the top are not too important (but for reference in the studio I tend to use Simple Game, Real Time, Manual).
Now scroll down to 'Find a game' and type in your unique game name. This should filter the games to match your search and you can click on their respective 'Play Now' button (in blue).
A 'Create' button should then appear against the game and allow you to start setting up the table.
