I've read that this game is best for larger groups so am wondering if our family of four will enjoy it. Any thoughts?

I think a small group could enjoy, but it's definitely "rollicking fun" with bigger groups. We loved it for family reunions! If the four of you are all on the same level of ability and knowledge base then it could still be fun. We enjoyed including children and giving them ideas of what to act out. If it's two adults and two younger kids, it could still be fun for each parent to work with a child, but it will be quite a different game than 5-6 per team jumping right in with crazy acting out. Does that help at all?

It is best for large groups, however, there are variations for small groups. It would still be fun for your family of 4 but is best for 6+ as indicated on the game. Just get it and invite some friends over. You will love it!

This is such a great, fun game! I think you can play with any number of people. We play this after dinner on holiday gatherings. It is a fun and quick break after dinner, dessert, and is an alternative to the group that gathers in front of the t.v.! Enjoy!

Yes, if you have 2 copies of the game. I have two sets and have played with as many as 9-10 and it is still fun. The games run a bit longer the more people you have but it is still a lot of fun. If you think you will typically be playing with more than 5, I would recommend getting two sets of the game, still worth the additional cost.

Playing with six people is not something I would recommend. It seems that the more players you have, the lower your chances of winning.

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 think that the whole family can play it at once. Kids that do not understand it as well could just have fun gathering the cards that they can "afford", which can sabotage other players, which is a fun strategy to play. The learning curve for this game is variable, based on the person, but it is really fun, especially when playing with more people. One thing to keep in mind is that, in my experience, this is not a game to have conversation during. Each person is focused on what card s/he needs to play next, which does not lend itself to talking.

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.

It would be great for that! This game is so much fun in big groups. We played it in large groups after a wedding and it was a big hit.

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.

I don't think adding more dice would make it more accommodating for larger groups. I believe the one set would be enough. The game rotation is very quick. We have played with as many as 9 people and did just fine with one set. We love the game-enjoy!

Yes. My family loves this game! Everyone from the 8 year old to my husband and I (much older!) plays it.

Hi! It's not a "heavy" game, but lots of fun. I played it with teens this summer and with my brother and sister-in-law later in August. You have to keep your eyes open for openings and, with humorous folk, it can make for an enjoyable time. Just enough playing time that it doesn't get boring.

Killer bunnies is best with more than two players. You have to bend rules to do it with two but it is really meant for more. However, the game is all about having fun with each other so if I could choose any game worth adapting for two players- this would be it.

We have played with up to about 5 people...I think that probably a good maximum number, even if they are not all at the same level. In theory any number could play since it is just about who can find the solution the quickest...but having more than 5 or 6 people crowded around the set of dice may not be ideal for practical reasons

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.

It's a party game so it's really fun when you have a large group... If you're really curious, I'd check out this video which shows three people playing it. When you have more people, you get more guesses and have more fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie6c4soAQxM

My son is 6 and my daughter is 8. Their friends have played it and loved it. My husband and I have played it and some of our friends and loved it. I think six ( any younger they might be to short) and older would be great.
