Is it possible to play this game with only two players?

yes, my son and I play a lot....we just shuffle and hide the cards without looking.

Yes, two people can play. You can even have two persons play two characters each to get four on the board.

2 or more people could help each other solve the puzzles, but only 1 player is needed. There are no other rules included with the game for "taking turns" though I'm sure one could invent some. Most games are frustrating because you can't play them alone. Not the case with this.

No way! I've played with up to 8 people which takes a while. The optimum number of players is 3-6 in my opinion.

I would say Yes in that there are people that will play with only two players, but using two characters each, then once the traitor is revealed one person takes over the three non-traitors and the traitor only controls the traitor. Works decently enough.

Yes, it can be played with two people and is still very fun and challenging. The more people you have playing the more unpredictable the game gets.

2 people could in theory play the game but it would get boring fast. I prefer playing the game with 6+ people So the game lasts a lot longer.

No, this game is restricted to 2 people. It is a lot like Chess in a way. I do recommend it for abstract game lovers. It is also great for road trips as it is very portable and games don't take longer than 15-30 min.

No you can't play with just four people. If you are looking for other good bluffing games is suggest ultimate werewolf one night. It's 4 player and quick. Also check out the YouTube channel tabletop for excellent play vids

It is an online game, you can play WITH more than 2 people at the same time. As far as yourself controlling 2 characters at the same time, I don't believe so.

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.

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

You have to make modifications to play with 2 or 3 people, but it can be done. You do need to have 4 players for a regulation game. When you play with 3, only do the first half of the Charleston plus a courtesy pass. When playing with 2, sit opposite one another; no Charleston. Our group's table rules for a 2-player game allow one courtesy pass, but no Charleston. The 2-player game is excellent practice for new players who are learning the card and how to play their hands, but it's a bit too easy to mahj to consider it a real game...still a lot of fun, though.

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.

Yes you can, but its not nearly as much fun - and I believe there is one aspect of the game that you can't have if you only have two players. Its still cute though with two players - it really is a lot like normal Clue.

You can play with just 2 people, but it would be a lot more fun with more than 2 people. It is also pretty hard so if you're not good at trivia questions ( like me) it isn't all that fun.

You can play this game with a minimum of 2 players; the game recommends between 2-4, but I've played it with many more than that. It's also fun to play in teams of two if you have a lot of players.

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.
