are the characters inter changable?

yes, all the Octonaut characters generally work with the other Gups, I have found that some snap into the back of the seats and some snap into the Gup or whatever with their feet, to stand. My kid loves the gups and has too many and they always come with a character that you can't choose, so we have an excess and it's all good and fun. The tracks on this don't move, but it glides nicely with those little plastic wheels on the bottom so he doesn't seem to mind. This is by far his Favorite Gup.

This isn't pen and paper D&D so, no there isn't a built in way to add characters. This is more like PS2 Baldur's gate made into an awesome board game. There are premade characters from R.A. Salvatore's Companions series who have set abilities. They are used in a tile system that generates a random dungeon every time you play, with differing scenarios to vary victory conditions.

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

Yes but not by design. Different consoles and tv's provide varying resolutions of the game graphics. The character will be the same on any console. However how clear the detail is and the colors will differ. Even on two consoles of the same kind. (Because tv is different)

Unsure what your asking. to play the game you need to look at he characters

You can use the figures, but you have to buy the new game for your sister. All the characters are forward compatible.

It's flexible enough that you can do either, but it's intended to be 7 + host for a total of 8, with the host playing one of the characters. If you wanted the host to remain a neutral "narrator," that could also work.

Yes multiple characters with games and audio books. Also you can download a lot online at decent prices

I would assume so. They all seem to be interchangeable. They aren't a perfect fit but they are pretty darn close.

There are usually 8 characters with 6 having scripted parts and 2 "extras" with an assigned character but they ad lib. No reason why you couldn't add even more characters as extras. Just make up names and roles for them. My husband and I have done mystery parties and been host & hostess, keeping things flowing and food and beverage served without taking parts. We had fun doing that.

I have in the past replaced one of these while having the rest being canon. There was no conflict what so ever. I hope that helps.

I can't really say if they're the same, I'm sure after so many years they update their game to stay relevant since some of the keywords are famous people. The cards are not actually questions though. There are four different colors to differentiate which word has been used so you can use the same card four different times. On those colors there is just one word for the player to describe and a few words below the keyword that you are not allowed to use to describe the keyword.

Absolutely not. The story of this game starts your character off completely fresh in your new town and the story of your town is explained thoroughly in the beginning. There are a lot of little secret tricks, however, (such as the money rock) that have continued over from previous games but your animal villagers will hint at them if you talk to them enough (or you can look them up)

yes absolutely.all parts are interchangeable. For example musical blocks can be put anywhere and duplicate the yellow blocks in other sets but with sound....it's great. it gets pricey to buy multiple sets but worth it. (Multi ages fascinated by this toy)

Oh dear, I'm not sure what you mean by "interlocking" or "random-cut". I can say that the pieces fit nicely and are unique enough that you cannot join two pieces that don't actually go together (like the ones in the cheaper puzzle I am working on now). Also, this is not a "Japanese" style where all pieces are shaped the same. I found that I could locate some pieces based upon shape rather than color and pattern. The border presents a different challenge than the interior (cat, background, and flowers), because of the repeating pattern (look closely - there are variations). It is a very enjoyable puzzle to complete. You won't be disappointed. Oh dear, I'm not sure what you mean by "interlocking" or "random-cut".

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

Not really. I never played Bang before picking this up and I was able to understand it just fine. It shares a similar ruleset as Bang with some changes, so it would be easy to transition from one to the other but its not needed. Just be used to having the cards in English and Italian....that threw me off
