Is this game really fun for 2 players? Some games say it can support 2 players but the fun factor greatly decreases.

My wife and I routinely play the base map (Eastern US) with just the two of us. The rules tell you to decrease the "goods cubes" by 1, to a minimum of 1. We think it works just fine and always enjoy ourselves. I've also played many games on the smaller Mexico board with just two players and that is also fun (less setup!)

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.

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.

There is a board with Mexico instead of the Eastern US that is great fun for 2 players but the larger Eastern US board really needs 3 and 4 players makes it the best

It has an expansion pack for mexico included in the box, that is a much smaller board and supports 2-4 players. That is how it works well for 2 people. Outside the main board would take forever to finish with 2 people :)

Yes, you can play with 2 players, but it is much more fun with 3 or more. In a 2 player Munchkin game there really is not any motivation to help your opponent.

I played last night with just two and it worked perfectly. Some of the Sheldon cards aren't really beneficial for just two players but overall it works. :)

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.

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

I think it looses some of its features but my husband and I have tried it. I would recommend Dominion or Love Letter if you want to play with two players. We seem to favor those for the two of us. Munchkin Deluxe is still one of our favorite overall games though. :)

This is a LOT of fun for all eight players. No duds. You must have exactly eight players, however. It doesn't work otherwise.

You can play with two players, but it is much more fun with 3 or more. We never play with 2 players. Best with 4 in my opinion.

You can play a 2-player game. Technically there are 3 wonders in play because the third is played by both players in an alternating pattern. It works and is still fun.

We've only played with 6 to 8 people. The more people, the better and funnier the game. I didn't even know there was a 12 player version. I don't think it would work as well with just 4 people.

Yes, this game can be fun for only two players. The dynamics are constantly changing so the level of competition is light and fun.

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.

You can make it work for two players but no where near as fun as 3+. Heads there is no really helping each other out because they are your one and only enemy.

That is not how the game is designed, but you could have a split personality to play multiple characters. It is not really a co-operative game, as the encounters involve only a single player in a location at a time. It plays fine with 2 players.DaveBoardgames4us

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

I've played this game with more players and it works fine (just come up with additional pieces for those extra players). However, I don't recommend it: It slows the game down because it takes an increasingly long time to match players up with their responses when you add more players. I would only recommend playing this way if everyone knows everyone else really well. I don't agree with others' opinions about playing with partners because two partners might disagree about how to respond; however, if partners alternated giving their answers each turn, and it was clear to the guesser which partner they were trying to match, then I suppose this could work.

You can play with just 2 people, but it would be a lot more fun with more than 2 people. It is also pretty hard so if you're not good at trivia questions ( like me) it isn't all that fun.
