Would it be possible to play this with a group of 20 people?

Yes... 2 groups of 10 people. In addition, this game tends to be more fun depending on who you play with. Make sure you have people who aren't too afraid to be silly and who tend to think outside of the box:)

I've found this game is better with large groups. Multiple teams are more than easy to accommodate, and having many "actors" just ups the hilarity factor, though i think teams of about 5-6 are the best choice.

Yes you can, and it even works with 4 players as well depending on how you set it up.

The game states two to four players. However, I suppose only one can play it just wont be as much fun.

Yes. Up to 6 can play but I have only played with 1 other person and it goes well.

It is possible. However, the game will be shorter (since there's only so many cards) But, if you have each couple play as one player, its equally as fun.

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.

Depending on the amount of players it could take a couple of hours. It is a lot of fun especially when you have a big group of people.

It can be done, but I would recommend with at least one more person. Part of this is because there is swapping of cards involved, and its just more fun with at least a third person instead of just swapping cards back and forth with each other. This is really enjoyed best as a group game.

It can, but the added friends is only capable by playing as teams. Since this kinda defeats the purpose of a cooperative board game, when we play with more people, We simply play with all the epidemic cards. This will make it very challenging, but also very fun. The problem with more players comes from the deck size. Too many people and suddenly the deck is gone, because of the number of cards drawn per round.

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.

Six would be probably the minimum you would want to play. It is a lot of fun. All ages can play.

I like 4 players so you can use the full rules. I have only played 3 times with the wide range of games I have and getting the right crowd to play.

It can, but to get the full effect of the game, I would recommend playing with at least 4. I played with 3 players the first time and I felt that the game didn't have the full charm and effect. Also, it can allow one player to become too strong. 4 or 5 players would balance the game better. It is hard to get those 5 people together everytime you want to play though!

It is designed so that you can play with as many people as you want. You can change the rules to work for your party & party size! You can split into teams. We've played with as many as 18 people. We were determined to finish the game and it took us about 5 hours with that many people, but we have never laughed so hard! You can have just as much fun playing and not reaching the "climax"!

you cant play with less than 5 people. but i can offer some suggestions on other games. Pandemic, King of Tokyo, DC Deck Building games, Lords of Water deep are all very fun games to play.

I don't see why you can't play with 3 players. I think it would work just fine. More players often makes the game more fun since there are more answers to bet on but 3 should be just fine in my opinion.

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