Board Game Arena

I tried to invite some non-reviewer friends to the Alpha group for my adaptation. The group page indicates they are all members, but only one of them was able to join a table I set up. Is there some other step they or I would need to take, or is there a delay until they are able to join a table?

For reference: it did seem to be a timing issue. Everyone was able to connect when we tried again about an hour later.

Yeah, it happened a lot on Santorini alpha.
I wasn't able to determine the precise delay, but it sure does exist.

There is a cache on the game list for a player. It should be automatically cleared up when inviting the player in an alpha group, but if it isn't for some reason, its expiration delay is indeed 1 hour, so trying again after one hour will work.

I found the reason why the cache wasn't systematically cleared. Players you invite to the group should now be immediately added to the group and able to access the game.
