Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
It looks like the option to look for a range of a number of players (e.g. 3-4) when creating a table is no longer an option. There are games I will only play with a certain number of players, and I have no interest in lower or higher player counts. Is the person who started this going to wait for six players, or will they start it at two? Who knows?
I tested creating games, and I also noticed all rooms only say "free" instead of "free-required" or whatever. -

Report history
A game can be created with 4 players.
One other person joins. They have to accept the game configuration before the table fills, as it is a turn-based game.
The table administrator (who cannot decrease the player count to 3, because this is a change to table configuration after someone has joined) can still start the game now, with only 2 players, forcing the other player into a 2-player game when they signed up for a 4-player game. I tested this on table 194828402
We are playing turn-based (bunch of friends) and it may take time to get everyone to accept; so recreating is annoying.

It also kills larger tables for turn based games, as if the number of players isn’t reached, the game just is abandoned without starting :(
you can always set the range to "6-6" if you want to wait until it filled.
but if you want a 4-6 table, you should have the option to.
also - pepole should be able what the possible range is, and join/not join accordingly.
