Trouble starting a game

When I try to start a game, I get a prompt that says "First please choose some friends to invite to play with you".

When I add a friend to invite, I get a prompt that says, "You first have to raise the maximum number of players you want at this table".

How do I raise the maximum number of players I want at the table before inviting someone to the game?

I start at the game page that says Learn or Play. I select Play, am taken to the lobby, and select the Play Now! button, and that's when I see the prompts. The url for the lobby is https://boardgamearena.com/lobby?game=1437.

Thanks for any help.

You probably have to select a scenario beyond the first one, which is only for 1 player, and therefore only for training mode...

How do you select a scenario when it won't let you in?

For the record, me and a friend (fullerbd) are having the exact same issue.

Note: It's not possible to report this as a bug because there is no table number to reference.

I was able to fumble my way in after changing the top right tab to MANUAL instead of FRIENDS.

Try that.

Scenario selection is BEFORE game start.
So you should have no problem with that.

Try that.
I would also expect that to solve your problem. Hopefully ;)
