It really depends on how you define "fun". It'll certainly be challenging and a lot of the fun in this game is the feeling of trying to beat pretty significant odds. 3 might be a more decent balance, but you should still have a good time with only 2 players.

Sure you can, each player could just control two players on the board in turn. Since you are fighting against the board and aren't improving your players- leveling them up or having to choose which one gets an advantageous upgrades. Depending on the group you play with, there is often a lot of input that goes into everyone's decisions anyway. That is to say, it's a cooperative game where everyone's move should be part of a more grand strategy. Sometimes you get a loan-wolf who is fixated on non-productive goals and you have to try to win in spate of them. There is an expansion that can include a spy in the ranks, in which case, you'd need some split personalities, but not in this base game.

Rahdo, who only does two player games calls it one of his top 10 games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5k19ZHWsqg

yes fun for 2, but better for 3 or more. I enjoy playing with 2 but my friend prefers 3 or more.

Yes the game can be played with two people. Balderdash is so much fun and creates so many laughs the more players the better!

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.

You can. I've played it with students as 3 player. But you might want to modify the rules a bit. Because with 3 players, you either score 2 points or no points. Which isn't as much fun as with 4 or more players.

I would say Yes in that there are people that will play with only two players, but using two characters each, then once the traitor is revealed one person takes over the three non-traitors and the traitor only controls the traitor. Works decently enough.

Sorry, no. 1 player at a time but you can take turns. It's still great fun.E-8

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.

Nope, you can easily play with just two people. I usually just play one on one with my girlfriend. And if you get the Reaper expansion it introduces a third "player" on the board, as you can move the Reaper around and try to make it land on your opponent. Have fun!

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. There are a different set of rules for 2 players (no double tracks) which makes it challenging. It's more fun with 3+ people but I play it with my son a lot and we have a blast.

It is playable and fun; playing with only two really changes some of the fundamental dynamics of the game, which is interesting on occasion to mix it up. But the game was really shines with more players--really the more the better.

the whole game is playable with 2 people. I'm not sure about 3+. but it's super fun with 2!

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.

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:)

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.
