Can I play with 2 players in same location and a 3rd player in another location

I would like to be able to play on BGA with my Sister and my Niece who live in another state. I know premium would allow the two of them to play from the same location/ip address. But would I be able to join as a third player from a different location/ip address. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I am happy to get premium to try it. But I don't want to get my Sister and Niece excited about being able to play board games together. Only for it to end in frustration and disappointment.

Has anyone had success doing this? Or know for sure that it isn't possible?

Hi, have you tried to invite them both to join a game you've created (without premium) ?

I think one gets a warning if other players join from the same IP-adresse but i'm not sure whether it prevents the game to start.

Good luck !

I could try that. Thank you for the suggestion.

Only one premium player at a table is enough (and necessary) to remove the same-ip restriction. Of course, a premium account will also let you start any of the premium games, as well.

This is possible with a premium account. If you don't have a premium account though, you won't be able to play with someone from the same IP address.
The player from the different location will see a same IP address warning but since you're not strangers on the internet that won't be a problem.
