You probably clicked on one of the 2-day events. The message about "only select players" is shown for the Session 2 of 2 games, which are restricted to pairs who completed Session 1. Unfortunately the Survivor Pairs had already ended when you left this comment, so you probably missed it. We'll do more special events though, this one is just the first of many 🙂
Looks like fun.
But I'm denied play with message "only invited player names". I thought I was invited?!?
It's 6 minutes per board
How much time do you have for each round?
