Can new people jump in as they want to? I have a guaranteed 3 people who will play, but an occasional 4th person who can join.

Nothing in the rules prohibits another player taking previously unused factions; just have them go through the same process with picking perks, etc.

Absolutely! The game (as you know since you play it) can be up to 5 people, if you typically have 3 and a 4th just so happens to be around, the more the merrier! And it creates new dynamics for the world that is being created that might not have been there before.

Yeah, I believe my game says that anyone can join if there are open territories that havent been claimed yet by other players

Yes, each game can have different starting people, if a faction doesn't play a game then they get an "X" by their name indicating they didn't participate. However, it is best if you have a core 5 person group that is willing to play, that way everyone has a idea of what is going on with the game, map, faction powers, and rule, which will change as you play.

You can totally have anywhere from 3-5 people. They will be at a slight disadvantage because they may not know all the details on the board and won't have won the earlier rounds, which provides some benefits. Honestly, I have a full 5 person group and we all love it. We are in game 5 of 15, it's about to get real...

I would say its a little better with 3 people, but I've played on plenty occasions with only 2 people. Still a fun time!

You may have as many as 12 players, but it is more fun with more players. I would say four players would be the least amount of people you would want to play with.

I've been beat to this a hundred times already, it seems.Yes, you can play by yourself. It may or may not be as fun as with friends, it just depends on your imagination. I generally play with at least 3 people, but I have played a round mostly solo and it was actually pretty cool.

You should be able to play with 4 people, but the more you have playing, the more hilarious things become, and that means you'll really enjoy the game.

This is a GREAT game but not for 2 players. It's possible but the more players, the better, just like many other games.

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.

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

It can be played with 2 players, but I feel it's more fun with more people. Still a good time for a smaller group, though.

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 has to be played with more than 2 people... Which is a bummer! My husband and I love the game but can only play when we are entertaining.

It really depends on how you define "fun". It'll certainly be challenging and a lot of the fun in this game is the feeling of trying to beat pretty significant odds. 3 might be a more decent balance, but you should still have a good time with only 2 players.

It's definitely more fun with more players. We usually don't play with less than four.

Absolutely! You have the option of playing on one of two teams (team 1 or team 2) or playing a solo game which is a free-for-all. We have played with a dozen people at once and never had a problem. I love these guns.

We've only played with 6 to 8 people. The more people, the better and funnier the game. I didn't even know there was a 12 player version. I don't think it would work as well with just 4 people.

2 - 4 players can play. We have found 3 to be the best number as sometimes with 4 it is difficult for anyone to win.

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.
