# canStartWithMinimumPlayers

A Boolean value that indicates whether your game can start after a minimum number of players join a match.

## Declaration

```swift
var canStartWithMinimumPlayers: Bool { get set }
```

## Mentioned in

Finding multiple players for a game

## Discussion

Discussion If you set this property to true, players can optionally start a multiplayer game when the minimum number of players accept their invitations. Design your game to progressively add additional players up to the maximum number of players. The default value for this property is false. To set the minimum and maximum number of players, see Create a match request.
