For two player you need one to select Create Game and one Join Game. The one 
who selected Create Game can then choose all the options. However, the one who 
selected Join Game has to click on the box next to their name on the list to 
get an X into it to say they've joined. Only at this point can you start a 
game.

Hope this helps,
