Can you make the game work for 2 players, and is it almost as fun that way; or do you need 3+ to make the game worth it?

2 player games work fine. Some of the game cards will have implications for more players like play this card to the player to your right, but this doesn't hurt a 2 player game. We have a house rule if you have a blank card it is an invisible friend +1 to attack and you can't lose him even if you die. I can't remember if this box comes with a blank, but you could declare some hated curse cards a invisible friend before you start.

You can make it work for two players but no where near as fun as 3+. Heads there is no really helping each other out because they are your one and only enemy.

I have tried playing with two before but this game is definitely NOT built for only two. Even with three the real fun of the game is somewhat subdued. I believe four is optimal, because while you can play with more, the game starts to really lag with higher numbers of players, especially if there are any new players in your group.But as for the original question: No, it is not nearly as fun with two people. Half the fun of the game is choosing who to help and who to hurt and when is the best time to do it. With only two people it takes away much of the "Munchiness" that the game is really built around.

2 people could in theory play the game but it would get boring fast. I prefer playing the game with 6+ people So the game lasts a lot longer.

You can do 4 people simultaneously (even more if you buy extra equipment). When you purchase a game just look at the back of the cover and see how many players it is made for.

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

Killer bunnies is best with more than two players. You have to bend rules to do it with two but it is really meant for more. However, the game is all about having fun with each other so if I could choose any game worth adapting for two players- this would be it.

It's very fun for 2. My husband and I play all the time and enjoy making unique card combinations. 2, 3, or 4 players just add to the strategy of how you play your cards and the expansion packs allow you to play with more than 4.

Yes! I have mostly played with just two players. If you're feeling ambitious, you can try to control more than one character if you want as well to have that bigger game feel.

It can, but to get the full effect of the game, I would recommend playing with at least 4. I played with 3 players the first time and I felt that the game didn't have the full charm and effect. Also, it can allow one player to become too strong. 4 or 5 players would balance the game better. It is hard to get those 5 people together everytime you want to play though!

Yes you can, but its not nearly as much fun - and I believe there is one aspect of the game that you can't have if you only have two players. Its still cute though with two players - it really is a lot like normal Clue.

I'm going to say no. I think (whether the game says it or not) you need at least three people. But I would go even further and say to have some real fun with this game, you need at least four people.

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.

I don't see why you can't play with 3 players. I think it would work just fine. More players often makes the game more fun since there are more answers to bet on but 3 should be just fine in my opinion.

Yes you can, and it even works with 4 players as well depending on how you set it up.

You can play with just two people. It is more fun with more people (we have played with as many as 7), but can still be fun with just two. I personally love this game. It is a challenge to be creative.

I definitely played with one other person. However, I am not sure if you could play with up to 4 people offline. I am not sure how the game would handle 4 people playing in the same area going in 4 different directions.

It would seriously depend on the group, like any role-playing game. Is that 3 players plus the GM, or only 2 and the GM? It probably works better with 3 and the GM, but could work well enough with only 2 plus the GM.

In my point of view, I do not think this game is that fun with only two players........It might be ok though. I have always played with at least 4.

Yes, this game can be fun for only two players. The dynamics are constantly changing so the level of competition is light and fun.
