can one player play this or does it require two?

My son who is 9 said you can practice with just one person. You will need two people to play the game. He said its more fun with 2 players.

My 8 year old will play it solo or with a friend. It's a little more challenging alone because you have to pitch and hit and you know the type of pitch you're doing, but he does it all the time. He often does it solo as a way of practicing so he's better when he plays against someone. Also, ALL the kids that come to our house (even the one that doesn't like baseball at all) LOVE this game! They're now asking for it for xmas.

Any number can play. My grandson plays by himself when no one else is around, but loves to play with his Dad or me as well. Practice pays off; he beats me every time.

Yes you can. In order to play with 3 players, simply pick the side that will not be used, do not put any stones in those pits and when players are making they're rounds they skip over this side and do not drop any stones in these pits. You can play Two players on with this set as well as just by skipping over two sides instead of just the one.Hope this helps!

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

My kids said it only works for 4 players. I believe there are more playing pieces, but only 4 can play at a time.

Yes, it works just fine with two players. We've played it quite a bit with 2, 3 and 4 players and all play slightly differently but are all just as enjoyable.

No, it is specifically designed in its current state for two players only. There will be multi-player rules coming out in the near future according to FFG.

It is fine with 2, but better 3 or more. I've played it with my 27 yo brother-in-law and had fun. Of course the more the merrier, but it works as a two player and is still enjoyable.

Yes, you can play with two players. I have had a number of satisfying games with only two players and two players playing more than one character. I think more players is more fun because it gives the characters more personality, but the game can also be played solo or even single player with multiple characters.

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

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.

It's really meant for two players. I think there are instructions for three, but it is such a fast game that I think with four players there would be too much crashing of hands as players try to get their cards down. The result might quickly be bent, ripped and otherwise worse for wear cards. However, the idea of the game would certainly support four players and then I think two decks would make it more enjoyable. And last a minute or so longer!

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.

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

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. 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.

Ben, I'm sorry but I don't know. I have only played 1 player. However, I believe you can play 2 player on 1 DVD.
