Re: Playing the yard vs my friends

*UPDATE*

You can now play with your friends via today's update!

The Yard Updates:

New Feature: Yard Play-A-Friend.
By popular demand, you can now play against your friends in The Yard.

How it works:
0) Select the Play-A-Friend tile in The Yard hub.
1) Pick a venue and party size and build out your party as you normally would.
2) Make sure to tell your friend’s team what venue and party size they should select.
3) At the prompt, both party leaders set the same matchmaking password. This can be anything you want, just make sure you both enter it exactly the same.
4) … (Magic of the internet happens here)
5) Play against your friend and make sure they know you are better than them.

NOTE: You won’t earn progression from Play-A-Friend games.

Hello @luckygoal4 This mode doesn't have the option to play VS your friends. Here is a deep dive on the Yard:
