is it a good game for two to play?

I bought it for my fiance as a birthday gift, we've played it as far as 3 times, im not a board game junkie as he is, but yeah we enjoy playing it, altough i think its too ... mechanical, and kind of boring when you spend too much time in it, wasn't hooked by the game. Altough it is really pretty, love the detail of the figures, and the graphic design of the cards.

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.

It is narrative driven, so even 1 can play... It's not an outright competition .

It's possible, but I wouldn't. The game is at it's best when four or five people are playing.

I think so, yes. The game instructions state that is for 1-4 players, so a person could even play it solo if they wanted. It is a cooperative games, you help each other. You don't play against one another. In a two player game, each person could play 2 of the mice and help each other. Each of the 2 players could just play 1 of the mice, but I think it would be best if you both played 2 of the mice and played with 4 mice.

I've played the game with 2 people several times and it worked out really well. I only recommended it if both players can handle playing 2 characters at a time in addition to running the bad guys though. In some ways, 2 player games of mice and mystics are awesome. For example, if one of your characters misses and attack, you still have another chance with your other character. You never wait around and always have another chance to do something useful!

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 think the game is best at 2 or 3 personally. It gets a bit too easy with 4 or 5, not that it is very difficult to start with. So to answer your question, yes it is fun with 2.

It scales really well to 2 people. It is a little bit easier (and it's already a fairly easy game) because your actions can be more immediate and you can plan a little bit easier, but still a fun time. I've played it a bunch with just me and my wife.

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

My wife and I play a full game in about 2 1/2 hours. It is not a quick game, but it is fun and well balanced. The set up of the game takes a bit of time, but once you get going, it moves well.

I would say yes, but it depends on what kinds of adults will be playing. It's a strategy game, so one has to think a lot. But if you thoroughly enjoy the company of your friends, I'm fairly certain this will be a good match.

Yes... 2 groups of 10 people. In addition, this game tends to be more fun depending on who you play with. Make sure you have people who aren't too afraid to be silly and who tend to think outside of the box:)

It is okay for adults... We find that it isn't good for just two people, but pretty good for three or more... It is a pretty strategic 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 play this game with a minimum of 2 players; the game recommends between 2-4, but I've played it with many more than that. It's also fun to play in teams of two if you have a lot of players.

It can be played with 2 players, but I feel it's more fun with more people. Still a good time for a smaller group, though.

The rules only cover up to 5, but it should be possible to add more. Since it is a cooperative game, couples could share a hand (especially useful if some of the players are young or not experienced in this type of game).

Yes. It is a great game. Try you will love it. It is easy and a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy as much as I have for many years.

This one can be played with 2 players or as multi-player as well. You can also combine it with other editions.

Honestly I don't think it does. You'll likely end up with extremely low-scoring games, and there will ultimatley be a lot of guessing. Guessing is part of Hanabi but with two players it mostly removes the element of deductive reasoning because you only know about one other persons hand, which makes the game sort of boring and not fun in my opinion. Recommended for 3 players and up. If you're looking for a superb two player game, I recently played Takenoko and that is EXCEPTIONAL for two players.

The first game or two will be slow as you pick up the rules - it helps to play an open hand so you can collaborate on how to play before you play in earnest. It is incredibly easy, though. I played with my niece (11) this summer and we had a blast.
