It really works for just two players?

Yes. I played it with my 10 year old grandson and it was challenging as I play to win (and he beat me).

Absolutely! My son and I frequently play with just the two of us during the day while Daddy is still at work.

Ignore the "yes." I stupidly clicked the wrong button. I wouldn't recommend it. It's possible, but it's one more thing to juggle. You're already responsible for the rules and story, and while it's possible to play a player character as well, it's tough enough to run when you're new to gaming. If you're still interested in the game, I ran the scenario here fine with two players. A couple of encounters are probably best scaled down, but I believe the book tells you where to. If you have at east two other people, you can run this and learn the rules as you go. If you then decide you also wish to play a character, knock yourself out.

No way! I've played with up to 8 people which takes a while. The optimum number of players is 3-6 in my opinion.

Yes, you can play with two players. I have had a number of satisfying games with only two players and two players playing more than one character. I think more players is more fun because it gives the characters more personality, but the game can also be played solo or even single player with multiple characters.

From what I've heard, you can play it all right with the older editions. I'm wondering if it works with more than 4 people though, that's what I'm worried about.

Sorry, no. 1 player at a time but you can take turns. It's still great fun.E-8

Yes you can play with 2 players. Just use 5 random guild cards along with only the cards that have a 3+ symbol on the bottom. :-D

Yes. There are a different set of rules for 2 players (no double tracks) which makes it challenging. It's more fun with 3+ people but I play it with my son a lot and we have a blast.

Yes, it can be played with two people and is still very fun and challenging. The more people you have playing the more unpredictable the game gets.

Yes, you can play it with just two. Of course more people makes the game longer and often times more fun.

No, it is specifically designed in its current state for two players only. There will be multi-player rules coming out in the near future according to FFG.

I have to say no, it's not worth it to play exclusively with two. There's a special variation for two and that's fun for a few rounds (especially if you and your opponent know each other well), but it is definitely a different experience with three or more.

I think 2 players is fun. In fact, to learn the game thoroughly and become the expert to teach other to play the game, a few solo games was enjoyable, as well.

There are a lot of variations to the game listed in the instructions which are suited for two players. The game is fun with two players but I think it's best with 3-4.

Never tried it with just one, but I'd bet it would work; you might have to adjust the number of cards you get per hand until you get to a point where you feel it is "balanced" (probably one more card per hand than two-person game)

Yes, two people can play. You can even have two persons play two characters each to get four on the board.

Yes but this isn't based on the controller, its based on whether or not the software you're using to play the game allows two players. If it does (and usually it should) there should be minimal issues.
