How long would 2 players take? short &amp; long version?

The first couple games are longer; once you get the hang of things, the games go pretty quick. I think our games average about 90 minutes, though the first couple games were 2-3 hours

The advise from my family to you; get the game then invite a neighbor kid who has played it. It will take about thirty minutes to figure out; then you are set. My family said this game was definitely a keeper! Hope you enjoy it as much as my crew.

If everyone knows how to play, maybe an hour. Setup and put away. I Play with 5 people who like to take their time and it takes us 1.5 to 2 hours.

A few hours at max. It depends on how elaborate the players want to act scenes out. I think we were done in two.

I've played this game with more players and it works fine (just come up with additional pieces for those extra players). However, I don't recommend it: It slows the game down because it takes an increasingly long time to match players up with their responses when you add more players. I would only recommend playing this way if everyone knows everyone else really well. I don't agree with others' opinions about playing with partners because two partners might disagree about how to respond; however, if partners alternated giving their answers each turn, and it was clear to the guesser which partner they were trying to match, then I suppose this could work.

It really depends on the number of people and how fast everyone takes turn. Also, the rules can sometimes be up to your interpretation, so it also depends on how much debate happens over that. If you have a focused group I'd say the game would be a lot faster. With my family, games probably do take about an hour.

We play this game with 3 players, as well as 2 players. There isn't any difference - just use the 3 player rules and instructions.

I have played with 2 players several times and had some fun, tense games. The game really shines with 3-5 though, in my opinion. I'd probably look to other games if you want a *primarily* 2-player experience.

It is possible. The instructions include directions for an "expert" variant for 2 players. The instructions recommend that you play a few times with 3-7 players before trying the 2 player version. I haven't tried it with 2 players, so I have no idea how it compares to the normal 3-7 player game.

Depends.. can be very quick or can take a while.. I'd say no longer than 30 mins.

Yes, it works just fine with two players. We've played it quite a bit with 2, 3 and 4 players and all play slightly differently but are all just as enjoyable.

It depends on how knowledgeable the players are on the game! If you have 5-6 experienced players, the game doesn't take much longer than a regular 4 person game. But if you have some newbies playing, it can add another 30 minutes + to the game!

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.

Maybe 10-15 minutes? We always play round after round though. It can be addicting!

You can play with two players, but it is much more fun with 3 or more. We never play with 2 players. Best with 4 in my opinion.

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