Yes! There are 8 kinds of element giant skylander, you can use any one to explore a place or to break something where you find a giant icon. And you may some bonus or some stuff. Anyway you don't need to use giants still can finish the game (not completed), otherwise waste $$ on giants.

The 5th player is the Bio Terrorist role only. I'll add that even though I haven't played the Bio Terrorist scenario, this is still my favorite version of the game to play (Virulent Strain + Mutation scenarios combined).

Sort of. I tried using the monster cards that featured that other main characters, but it is a little wonky playing with all those minis. When I tried playing other scenarios solo I died fast. But that could have just been bad luck.

Not off top of my head.... But google the game and scroll down, it should give you the requirements there

That is correct, Sheldon is not in the game. There isn't a Sheldon character piece. He is kind of always a "victim" in this game.

Yeah, me and my brother play on the same screen all the time, only thing is you can't have a NPC ally with you. IT can get a little bothering at times since you have to stay in the screen if your playing on the same screen, because if you head to the edge of the screen and you stand still, you teleported to your ally.

Well I agree the rules are not easy to follow when you play for the first time. To be sincere I couldn't play the game by just reading the manual. What I did is find a YouTube video where I saw a whole family playing together and describing every move. Then it started to make sense. I took me a couple of hours to learn it. The manual is great when you're already in a game, because you'll always use it as a cheatsheet. Here's the link I'm talking about :S05E01 - 7 Wonders - How To Play: http://youtu.be/z_Wfdn5Es8UI recommend you watch all of these videos, I mean S05E02, etc. 7 wonders is a truly amazing game, the more you play it, the more you'll love it.

I think the only real technical issue you may run into is when blocking stealing by claiming you are either the captain or the ambassador. She could cross her fingers claiming a block, but she would have to differentiate which of the two characters she was claiming to be when blocking somehow. There are really such few actions that require any explanation once everyone is familiar with the characters that I'm pretty sure you could play the game almost silently if you really wanted to. This game has almost zero learning curve and I truly don't think this situation would make it much worse. In fact, I think a silent game of Coup sounds a bit fun.

The characters should work for all systems (Wii, xbox, Playstation,ipad, etc). I'm not sure how the PC game works. If it has a portal they will work as long as you have the right game. The giants work on both Skylanders Giants and Skylanders Spyro's Adventure games. The Spyro's Adventures characters usually don't work on the Giants game. They have a small check mark on the side of the package telling you which characters work with which game! Hope this helps!

It is an online game, you can play WITH more than 2 people at the same time. As far as yourself controlling 2 characters at the same time, I don't believe so.

I do not know because the person I bought these for returned them as they were too large & heavy to carry into games.

I'm going to say no. I think (whether the game says it or not) you need at least three people. But I would go even further and say to have some real fun with this game, you need at least four people.

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.

I have also found several definitions of words to be incorrect in the game cards. What's with that? Are the "real" answers Absolute Balderdash also? That's fine if they are, it would just be good to know.

No....the Skylanders swap force figures do not work on the portal of the Skylander Giants game.

I wish I would have asked this question before I purchased the game! I had friends that had games with the two extra's, and I had purchased Lethal Luau for a dinner party I was having with 6 people, thinking there were two extras. BUT IN LETHAL LUAU THERE ARE NO EXTRAS! So My husband and I both played two parts which just ruined the whole thing. We would switch hats (nothing we could do about the costume) so that the other players knew which we were at that time. But sometimes our characters were asking ourselves questions so it got really confusing. You need 8 guests to play this game. Have a good time!

i don't believe so, the game-play doesn't involve you directly controlling one unit, you have to command them to do things...
