It says 2+ players, but how many can actually play using just one starter kit?

The starter kit has three ships, so it is possible for three people to play with just the starter kit. The expansion ships cost anywhere from $12-$16, so if you have more people than three, that's how much it will cost to field a ship for each. Otherwise, you could get creative... just make up some house rules for a fourth player to be a space amoeba or something. Or maybe the V'ger probe. It's Star Trek... it's all good. A little imagination goes a long way in fleshing out games sometimes.

With over kit you could play three players, one Klingon, one federation and one romulan.

The game is designed for 2 player head-to-head play. That said, it is VERY easy to take the basics rules and apply them to a multi-player format. From the starter there is enough variability in the components that you can build three evenly pointed ships with the crew and to have a fun three player skirmish. With additional expansion ships you can build up forces that can be all vs. all, or teams. I have played 4, 5 and 6 player games of this with little trouble. You should familiarize yourself with the rules for standards 2 player games first before exploring multi-player versions (I would suggest going to the game's website to get more complete detail on the rules: http://wizkidsgames.com/startrek/star-trek-attack-wing/). I will warn you that there is always a chance to have a very unbalanced game when you deviate from the designed 2 player model, but it is usually worth it to try.

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!

No (At least, not as far as I could figure out), this only works for one player. You would need another one for another player.

you can. it will be really short and boring. i find fiasco works best with 4-5 players

Yes, you can play as few as three. Of course, the recommended number of players is probably four+.

On the box it says ages 9+ and 4-10 players. We often play with just 3 players.

We played with ten (five on each team) and it worked great. It might be a little chaotic with 8 people teams, but I see no reason why it would not work. It might work easier if you do not use the board and just used the cards with that many. Or, you could rotate out a few players each round. Definitely doable in my opinion.

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.

You can play one player with it, but to play four players you need controllers. You can still use the gamepad as a fifth player but cannot use any characters in game.

If you buy more ships it can be as 4, 5, 6+ person game. This starter kit only has 3 ships though. The extra ships are usually sold on amazon for $13-$15 each.

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.

This game can handle up to 5 players on its own. If you mix it with other sets of the game, you can get up to 10.

Yes. Two players is easy. Four is the most difficult. But you can play with three.

The game is set for 2-4 players with slightly different start up for 3 and over. It can be played solo. There are only 4 ship models with the game, with more ship models you could add more players but probably would not want to add more than 1 or 2.

Just checked the box. It says for one or more players. I think you can have as many players around the table as can see the cards.

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