I play on Windows 10 and recently played with the internet cord out and the wi-fi set to airplane mode, and was able to play with no problem (of course no friend gifting/visiting/hiring). The only catch was that at some point my computer auto-reset the wi-fi and reconnected me (annoying stupid "helpfulness").
