New game for new players.

#1 Post by OogsBoogs » Sun Apr 23, 2023 2:50 pm

I made a classic game that starts in seven days for new people like me. I don't really know that much strategy at all but I kind of just want to play with real people to see how it feels and looks. I think the ID is 601826 but I'm not sure how to really advertise a game.

I looked and I don't think the game is findable with just the ID. Could someone help me advertise this?

One way for people to find it is to use the Search tab at the top of the home page, select Game Search, and set the following: Game Status: Pre-Game; Privacy: Public; Variant: Classic; Bet Size From: 5 To: 5 and click Search. There should be relatively few results to look through, "Basic game for new players" is yours.

The links work (both take you to the beta page if you have beta mode on), but the beta mode does not have a join game button as far as I see... And because both take you to the beta page, there is no way to actually join the game through the link.

There is a "join" button if you're using the classic format.

It must be a Beta bug.
