To play with a select group of people, the game creator may specify a private password and pass it out as desired. Such a game is listed under the "Private Games" section of "Join A Game" until either it fills up or 15 days have passed, at which point it will be deleted automatically.
Tournament Games
These are games belonging to a community-run tournament and are created by members with special tournament game privileges. Such a game is listed under the "Tournament Games" section of "Join A Game" until either it fills up or 15 days have passed, at which point it will be deleted automatically. To participate in a tournament (or to organize one) please visit the Tournaments section of the Forum.
Speed Games
These real-time games have 5 minute rounds and automatically refresh. An extra 2.5 minutes is added to the round length when someone is eliminated. Such a game is listed under the "Speed Games" section of "Join A Game" until it fills up. If a player logouts or their session is idle for more than 15 minutes they will be automatically dropped from any waiting speed games.
Hope that answers your question!
