I cannot be sure. We didn’t play a second game (send more invites) to test it out.
I “feel” like it should be one time only, some sort of account revival/rest as you say … but the path of joining can be hard to fully discern through the mists of the ethereal labyrinth. Or something.
Thanks for the help, @JammaTal and @robthomasson. After the other four players each invited me to a 2P game (without me accepting those invites), I created a 5P game that everyone was then able to join. After that game started automatically, I then declined the invitations to the 2P games.
asmodee and async…a neverending sad story of incompetence, ignorance and lack of understanding.
newest chapter: Terraforming Mars (v 1.1368)
a public game can only be started when all players are online.
then it transforms into true async.
when a player forfeits or his timer runs out A.I. takes command.
but when only one human player is left he is not allowed to finish the game vs A.I.
game disappears instantly.
in private games we get notifications which don’t tell us for which game they are, and in “resume” we can’t see in which game it’s our turn.
