The number of players is given as 2 to 6 in a 2 player game does each player have to play more than one character?

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. Dave Boardgames4us

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!

No. You justvhave multiple options to choose from. When you start game you play as on character but if that character 'dies' during the game, you have others to pull from to start over in middle of game.

Any level can be played with 1-4 players. the loading screen for each level prompts the user to decide the number of numbers for the upcoming level. Hope this helps.

I've played the game with 2 people several times and it worked out really well. I only recommended it if both players can handle playing 2 characters at a time in addition to running the bad guys though. In some ways, 2 player games of mice and mystics are awesome. For example, if one of your characters misses and attack, you still have another chance with your other character. You never wait around and always have another chance to do something useful!

You can play with just two people. It is more fun with more people (we have played with as many as 7), but can still be fun with just two. I personally love this game. It is a challenge to be creative.

It can be played solo fairly easily, but I'd recommend playing as 2 different characters most of the time. It's sweet spot would be with 3-5 players depending on the group.

We have played with up to about 5 people...I think that probably a good maximum number, even if they are not all at the same level. In theory any number could play since it is just about who can find the solution the quickest...but having more than 5 or 6 people crowded around the set of dice may not be ideal for practical reasons

If you're asking about playing multiple people at the same time yes. Just like in super Mario but you will have to work together sometimes to use each person's special abilities.

The game is only designed for 4 players/pawns. But since the game is cooperative, you could have 6 players and all work together using the 4 pawns.

The game description indicates 3-8 players. I'd want at least a minimum of 4, preferably 5, playing to keep it interesting. The only real reason you can't go over 8 people is because that's how many game pieces/dry erase boards you are provided.

The 12 player version has booklets with 12 pages each, which is needed for 12 players. Two six-player or eight-player games won't have enough pages to play with 12 people.

I would say 4 players. With any less than that, it's easy to guess who is who and makes some of the 'good' cards not as good because everyone can reach each other. We have played with 3 people, but the game was over in about 20 minutes. We've also played it with 15 people before (we had double decks and the expansion packs) and that was just crazy! I would say that the ideal number is between 5 and 8.

I've successfully played the original (without the expansion) with 5 and 6 players and it doesn't seem to make it easier or harder. Just deal 2 player cards to each, and play as you usually would.

I have tried playing with two before but this game is definitely NOT built for only two. Even with three the real fun of the game is somewhat subdued. I believe four is optimal, because while you can play with more, the game starts to really lag with higher numbers of players, especially if there are any new players in your group.But as for the original question: No, it is not nearly as fun with two people. Half the fun of the game is choosing who to help and who to hurt and when is the best time to do it. With only two people it takes away much of the "Munchiness" that the game is really built around.

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.

I gave this to my grandchildren, so I asked them your question. Here is the answer:"It's supposed to be played with 4. There are 6 "characters", each with different "abilities", but the different combinations of 4 of the 6 change up the game." So I guess the answer is that up to 4 can play. Sorry if this doesn't work for you. They really love the game!

No. The tablet is set up for 12 players only. To play with more you would need extra pages on the tablet. I played with 12 ppl and it took 1 hour for just 1 round. It's setup to play 3.

Not if you want everyone to have a part in the game. There are only 8 characters.
