Board Game Arena

Hello!

I am new to this so excuse my ignorance, am I able to start a real time game and have the option of inviting my friends only? Kind of like a private game?

yes,

when you create a table, underneath the section where you choose the amount of players you want for the game you can click on [table restrictions] (or something like that). This will open a menu where you can put on restrictions on who is able to join. On of them in the first drop down menu is friends only, or groups you're a member of.

Cheers,

Another option, if you aren't all in the same group --
Restrict table access by level, and un-check *ALL* boxes. This will make it so no beginners, no average, etc. will be able to join -- IE, nobody can join. Then, use the "reserve a spot for a player" function to invite the people you do want.

Also, this doesn't have to be real-time. You can set up a turn-based game, and play in real-time, and therefore not have to worry about the clock.

Nice idea but this doesn't work anymore. Improvements to this side disabled this way

Well, it *used* to work..

Thanks for letting me know it doesn't anymore.
