The Player Profile isn't part of the main menu structure, but there are a lot of different sub-screens inside the Player Profile, so it's important to understand what's in there, so it's worthy of its own section in the manual. The Player Profile is your main source for information about a specific player. Like many of the other areas of the game, the Player Profile consists of a number of pages, accessed by tabs at the top of the page. You can access the Player Profile in several ways:

  • Click on any player name on any standard game screen (clicking on a player name on a report will take you to the BNN Player Page)
  • Right-click on any player name and select Open Player Profile
