I can attest to this issue. You can get around it by using the player selector in the upper right. But that seems to also introduce some other weird behaviors.

Me too. The playtesting as another player than player 1 does not seem to work.
Anhysbys you say you can use a player selector? How does that work? I just see the names of the other players on the topright but i cannot click on them.

Though I don’t know why it doesn’t work for you.
