Is this fun to play with only two players?

Yes it can be fun with two players to practice strategies but the games are very short.

Yes. The double roles allow bluffing to work well even with two players. It's also easiest to get a handle on the deeper strategies of the game when playing with 2 players because you only have to focus on one person's bluffs. It's similar to how Love Letter's strategy starts feeling more simple but focused with 2 players. 3 or 4 players is the most fun in the long run, though. 2 players doing several rounds in a row will tend to fall into repetative patterns. In a group of 3 or 4 people naturally try different strategies and pick them up from each other, so the dynamics get a lot more interesting.

Coup is fun with 3. Best with 4 or 5, and still not bad with 6 even though the best says up to 5 players. You could still have a great time with 3, but you probably will miss out on some of the deeper strategies that were intended for the game.

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.

You can definitely do solo. I have done quite a few that way as well as playing 2 or 4 players. Four is much more challenging.

I would think it would not be very fun with three. I've played it with four or more and that seems to work best. The more the merrier!

Yes! It's a great two player game! There are only two of us in the house, so I always try to find good two player games, and this one is perfect. It is different every time, so the re-playability factor is very good. Also, with two players, the game moves quite quickly and stays interesting. I would highly recommend it!

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.

It can be answered with 2 players; my husband and I play it every once in a while. But it's a bit more fun with 3+ so that you can use the "special" tiles that make the game a bit more fun. Definitely a great game; but if you're looking for a 2-player game, there are better options out there.

The game states two to four players. However, I suppose only one can play it just wont be as much fun.

My wife and I play only two player. More than that and we would have too much down time for us.

If you want it to be fun you would at least want 4 players, if you have more than 4 players it really gets comical.

Absolutely. I think it's more fun with 3 or 4 players but works just fine with two.

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 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.

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.

I have played with 2 players several times and had some fun, tense games. The game really shines with 3-5 though, in my opinion. I'd probably look to other games if you want a *primarily* 2-player experience.

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

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.

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.
