Playing doubles

Why can't a new player play in a double game ?
Do you need a minimum game number or something else before you can play a doubles game ?

I think you need to complete 5 games before you can play doubles

Team Deadbeats
Deadbeats are always a pain in the butt, but they are particularly troublesome in team games. They give regular partners an big advantage over opponents that play with strangers. Since 80% of team deadbeats are New Recruits, the community has reached a consensus to require newbies to earn their first promotion before playing in doubles or triples. Open public team games are now filtered out of Join A Game and Game Finder results for New Recruits.

This is really a band-aid solution, and a proper training program is needed to prevent newbies from deadbeating by letting them know what they are getting themselves into when they join the club. There will be more on that in future updates.

To further ease the blow of a deadbeat teammate, a surviving partner will inherit the cards as well as the armies.

I love the fix. It screws you when they deadbeat and you haven't got good enough rolls to hinder the now really strong player, plus free points aren't too exciting!
