can all the scenarios be played by a single player or is it not possible?

Yes, it is possible. You would probably want to control more than one hero though, especially if fighting one of the "boss" monsters.

Sort of. I tried using the monster cards that featured that other main characters, but it is a little wonky playing with all those minis. When I tried playing other scenarios solo I died fast. But that could have just been bad luck.

Yes, the first level is to be played solo. The others can as well, but it works better with more people

My dad has played all the scenarios with a single character. It's very challenging. However if you wanted to play one or more characters simultaneously then it's totally possible.

Definitely not all of the scenarios can be played with one person, but you could easily tailor most of the game to be one player. I play the game with two people most of the time, and it's easy for two. So I don't see why one player couldn't succeed. I think it would be hard to do some of the other campaigns alone though.

It's possible, but it's not going to be easy if you only use one character. For solo play it's best to use more than one character, you can do this with most co-op games to play solo.

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.

I don't think the online servers are still there (I have never tried to access them) - CNC 4 may be an exception. You can play multi-player on an internal network.

you can. it will be really short and boring. i find fiasco works best with 4-5 players

Yes, there is both a single player and two player mode for this game to be used.

I definitely played with one other person. However, I am not sure if you could play with up to 4 people offline. I am not sure how the game would handle 4 people playing in the same area going in 4 different directions.

You don't need internet access to play the single player story mode, but there are patches that have been pushed out that will greatly increase stability, fix bugs, and add additional features. These patches will require just hopping online briefly with the game.

There are some variant rules you can play which allow you to run Descent solo. Here's one such: http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/67916/descent-solo-v30-automated-overlord

It could be indeed. You could even play it by yourself playing all 4 characters. So for two people, You can probably control 2 characters each. So yes, It's fun. At least for me it is.
1818867
Yes, you can set this game up and play alone. There are rules for it. It is more fun with more people, but it is possible.
1818869
Technically yes, rules exist to play with just one character. As far as I can tell it's basically impossible to win if you do that. However, you can modify the game by playing multiple characters yourself which can be interesting though time consuming. The game is definitely best with more people though.

I'd say "probably not", unless you're a big fan of the show and would enjoy seeing all the references. I played solo a couple of times when I was learning the rules, but there are other games I own that work better for a single player.There's only one real solo scenario provided with the victory condition cards. You could play most of the others solo, but since they have no time limit other than "do it before the other guy", you'd never be at risk to actually lose. If you were highly motivated, it would probably be possible to write some additional solo scenarios for yourself.

yes, games can all be played offline. The system is fully operational offline.

Yes, I've played it with 3 players, where I was the GM and we had two PCs and it worked just fine. I've also played it where everyone takes turns playing the NPCs as well as their own characters so we were playing without a GM, though that was a bit more advanced.

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

I believe that it does. At the main screen just click on custom quest and you will be able to join or host multi-player. I have never done so as I never play multiplayer games. I do however love the single player game. If you haven't played this game it is one of the best for this genre and well worth the price IMHO.

I don't think. you need at least one player and one overlord (a second player)
