2 - 4 players can play. We have found 3 to be the best number as sometimes with 4 it is difficult for anyone to win.

Although you can play with just two, the game gets better with more people. The maximum number of players is seven but the optimal number is four or five.

Yes, you can play as many as you like in each team. I have played with 7 teams with 20 people in each team.

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.

Hey Kate, the max number is 10 because of the number of tokens provided in one box. However, you can have anywhere from 5 - 10, meaning the game is still playable with 7.I have found the game to be more fun, the more players you have. The reason being that it becomes more difficult to guess who the spies are. Hope this helps. =)

Yes, you can use the 12 player version for only 4 players. You would just leave the last 8 pages of the booklet blank, although the more players the merrier!

Several players can play and actually is more fun. My sister & my grandchildren played and loved it. There were 7 kids and 1 adult playing.

Theoretically, you can play with as many people as you want. You just need two white dice and two black dice for each person around the table. It would probably end up being really convoluted and complicated with more than five people, and would likely be a really, really long game, and you'd have to worry about the narrative breaking down, but it would also likely be a lot of fun and would be pretty insane near the end. Four is the preferred number, five is the suggested maximum as per the rules, however.

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

I was introduced to the "8 player" game recently. We had 9 players so two worked as a team. It was so much fun, I had to buy the 12 player game for us to play Christmas Eve. It is like the telephone game we played when we were kids. The first person writes down the word they have from their card and draws it...passes the booklet to the person on their right that person has to guess what they drew...then the next person draws what they guessed...etc. Sounds easy but - not everyone can draw or thinks the same. You will love it!!! Since there are only 12 pages you may want to team up with the 12. I was introduced to the "8 player" game recently. We had 9 players so two worked as a team.

You may have as many as 12 players, but it is more fun with more players. I would say four players would be the least amount of people you would want to play with.

We played with ten (five on each team) and it worked great. It might be a little chaotic with 8 people teams, but I see no reason why it would not work. It might work easier if you do not use the board and just used the cards with that many. Or, you could rotate out a few players each round. Definitely doable in my opinion.

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 think it says up to 10 players because you have the option of team play. Not positive, but I think that's the case.

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.

I believe if I remember correctly it is 8 players. I had more than 8 at my party, but there are 8 actual characters...The recipes are wonderful and it was great fun!
