How well does this game play with 2 players? Is it less interesting then 4 players?

It plays alright. The choices in the different zones are reduced (blocked off) when playing with fewer than 4 players. So, while it's still playable, it's a lot more fun with 4.

I have played it many times with 2 players. It is a little less cut throat and a little more strategic because the board changes a lot less with just two players in between your turn. I would recomend it as a 2 player game.

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.

I have yet to try it in 2 players for that very reason. HOWEVER I'd say that it shouldn't be too bad, if you play on the Mexico Map. That map is just hardcore, and therefore PERFECT for a small number of players. If you're looking for just 2 players I'd pass, but if you frequently play it with 3+ players, it could be worth it.

This is GREAT for 2 players. I mostly play it with just 2 people but I've also played with 3 and 4 players. The only change is the number of cards each person gets so it's really easy to add players to the game.

Yes- my friends and I have played up to a four player game so far- it is a blast.

Although you can play with just two, the game gets better with more people. The maximum number of players is seven but the optimal number is four or five.

You may have as many as 12 players, but it is more fun with more players. I would say four players would be the least amount of people you would want to play with.

I've played it as a 2, 3, and 4 player game. In my opinion, it works better with an even number of players. You have to modify the player's starting areas to accommodate multiple players, but other than that, it works well with 3-4 players. You will need more more of the ships than just the 3 that comes in the starter box set however.

2 player is actually really fun, but I would say having 4-6 players is the most ideal because there is continuous battle. 6 player is the most fun, unless you hate conflict.

Completely disagree with the "no" people. The game rocks whether 2 people or more. Yes, the dynamic is different with 3+ people, but it's still a very enjoyable game with two people. Have a friend who plays with his son all the time as a 2 player game and they love it as well.

The game says it is for 2-4 people, however, there are six roles that players can take so it is possible to play with six if you wanted. I have played it with 2,3, and 4 personally and it was always fun but easy. I have never lost on any difficulty, and while it is possible to play all six roles I worry that it would make it too easy.

It is fine with 2, but better 3 or more. I've played it with my 27 yo brother-in-law and had fun. Of course the more the merrier, but it works as a two player and is still enjoyable.

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.

This is great game for 3 to 6 players. You can play it with two, but it is more fun with more players.

It is possible. The instructions include directions for an "expert" variant for 2 players. The instructions recommend that you play a few times with 3-7 players before trying the 2 player version. I haven't tried it with 2 players, so I have no idea how it compares to the normal 3-7 player game.

Played it with 6 people twice and it makes for a tougher game as someone almost always dies of thirst or your sandstorm tiles run out and your buried. 4 seems to be the optimum for a good mix of characters vs game mechanics. Haven't tried it with 5.
