Is this game for more than two players since it has Federation, Klingon and Romulan ships in the starter?

Yes- my friends and I have played up to a four player game so far- it is a blast.
1163571
Yes. It can be played with as many players as there are ships. For ease of play and speed it is probably best if the number of players do not exceed 4 but as I said the format allows for expansion. You could have ten players with each one running a ship of their own. Great game system. We play it at the store I manage all the time.

Yes, The game has four factions. Klingon, Fed, Romulan and the Cardasian/Dominion. The box set has models for 3 factions as well as 2-3 scenario for 3 players. Every month they release 4 new models for each faction. They will release the Borg Cube next month which belongs to neither faction. Perhaps there will be another faction?

Most people say get two of the starter set. I would agree with that. The single X-Wing does holds up alright against the 2 TIE Fighters, but a few more ships in the battle would be nice.

Hi, Khue. Mage Knight Board Game is a great solitaire game, but you can comfortably play with two or three. If you are feeling really confident you can add a fourth person, but know that that might take a long time. With the Lost Legion expansion you can add a fifth character and if you get the Krang character expansion you could potentially add a sixth player for a competitive game. The maximum number of players you can have in a cooperative game is usually one less than in a competitive one because you need ine character to be a dummy player. You can avoid that if you get an app called Mage Knight Dummy Player. 1-4 players competitively, 2-3 cooperatively. I hope that answered your question!

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!

Race for the Galaxy is also a deck building game, so similar principles apply. This game is themed on space travel and conquest, so it different. I would not consider it better or worse, but both Dominion and RftG are good games. Dave Boardgames4us

No & yes. What I mean is if Star Wars is the "only" role playing game that you, or someone in your group is going to learn. Then yes it has its place as a good starter. The system is so different from other role playing games. On the other hand. No if you intend on playing other systems games like "call of cthulhu", "the iron kingdoms", "rifts", "hero's unlimited", "robotech" and so on. Just take the time to look around before you start buying. I'll say this Star Wars is growing with books, supplement, card deck, and much more to come. It maybe your cup of tea, or maybe not. Just keep an open mind before you buy. Good luck, and happy gaming. No & yes. What I mean is if Star Wars is the "only" role playing game that you, or someone in your group is going to learn.

It is mainly meant for two players, but there are two introductory scenarios that are meant to be played by one person. The set comes with two separate armies (Dark Angels and Chaos Space Marines). They are not intended to be combined, and it wouldn't make much sense because the models look different, and the two factions are mortal enemies.

Not really. The two games use very similar, but not quite identical rules systems. The scales are very different though. X-Wing is basically a space 'dogfight' game, and Star Trek Attack Wing is a larger ship battle game.

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).
1736035
No. In this version, you do get six different colors of armies. Thus, six players can play.

Robert,Yes I have played it with 2 players and it is fun. We have almost all of the Dominion sets and like to mix and match them. I hope you have as much fun playing Dominion as we do.Elizabeth

I play this with my 6 year old son. I recommend keeping the number of starships to a minimum. He starts to lose interest when battles take a while. Missions are good too. He beat me on one of the Falcon cargo runs with him playing the Empire. You can make the game simpler than it is. My son understands dice results, focus, evade, and target lock actions so it's still pretty fun.

Yes, you can play it with just two. Of course more people makes the game longer and often times more fun.

Without the Pirate and Bounty Hunters expansion, the game is going to be fairly low-interaction with any number of players. So if you dislike that style of semi-solo play in other games, then you probably won't like it here either. You're mostly playing against the board, and the other player is just pressuring you to do it efficiently. But this aspect actually bothers me more with a larger number of players (where you have lots of downtime while a bunch of other players go), and bothers me less in a 2-3 person game.

Yes but you would need to get more models as the original set has models for 3 player. Originally there were 4 factions to play with: Federation, Klindgon, Romulan and the Dominion. However, now we have the Borgs. The Borgs are still relatively new with only 3 ships. The scenarios that came with each ships are mostly for 2 players. There is one or two of them that are for 3 players. for four players you can either use the 2 players scenario and spit each team into 2 players or you can just make up your own scenario.
1789133
Yes. The core set comes with one Xwing, and two Tie Fighters, plus scenarios for one-on-one play. It starts out fun and simple, then gets better and more complex as you make additions.
1609186
Yes! I have mostly played with just two players. If you're feeling ambitious, you can try to control more than one character if you want as well to have that bigger game feel.
