Does the game play well with 2 players? I'm specifically looking for a good 2 player game...

Yes, 2 is good... 4 is just more 'discussion' and 'compromising' as a team.

Yes, the game is a little different than a lot of games in that the players are competing against the island so players have to work together to reach their goals before the island sinks.

Absolutely. I think it's more fun with 3 or 4 players but works just fine with two.

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.

It's a Three player minimum game. This is because of the three tracks of influence, which can have a very real impact on the game, and is where most of the fun comes from. If you modify the game to your own liking, and play it in a simple, "dominate the board" type of way, I can see it possible to play with only two, but a lot of the fun will be missed by doing so. There are a few you tube videos that go through gameplay, which will help you understand how the three player mode plays out.

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.

The game is playable with two people, but it is much more fun with four or more. I wouldn't get it if you would only be able to play with two people.

I've played it as a 2, 3, and 4 player game. In my opinion, it works better with an even number of players. You have to modify the player's starting areas to accommodate multiple players, but other than that, it works well with 3-4 players. You will need more more of the ships than just the 3 that comes in the starter box set however.

It's absolutely good with two players! My wife and I play all the time. Some of the cards aren't really that great (weapons that affect every other player, for example) so you can bend the rules a little bit when it's just you and one other person, but either way it's a ton of fun.

I never been playing this game as 2 player. You will ask it to ubi soft. Sorry for not help.

Yes- my friends and I have played up to a four player game so far- it is a blast.

You can't play with four players, it just wouldn't make sense. Other fun games for 2-4 players? Milles Bornes is a lot of fun; I definitely recommend it.

This is a GREAT game but not for 2 players. It's possible but the more players, the better, just like many other games.

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. :)

I would say its a little better with 3 people, but I've played on plenty occasions with only 2 people. Still a fun time!

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

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.

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.

Definitely. In fact, especially the original played with the 2-player rule (playing 2 actions each turn), is deeper strategically and a quick (half hour or less when played with familiarity) game that is so good it is addictive. The first expansion, which I thought would add a lot because the goals idea is good, does not really improve the 2-player game.

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