If spies have two wins, and the leader (who we think is the spy) is dealing, how does the resistance win when the spy wants to be in the mission?

You all vote about the mission whether you approve or reject. So you try and convince the rest to reject the vote so it goes to the next team leader to propose a new group.

If the other players believe the leader is a spy and the leader wants to go on the mission the players should refuse to approve the people going on the mission. But remember you have two spies... so you need to try and approve a team to go on the mission where you think no one is a spy.

Well, that´s one of the rare cases in which the good guys are toast.Either he chooses the team with some spy and you loose the mission, or he keeps on pushing with the team until you guys reject him five (or six, I don´t remember) times and the bad guys win.So no luck in that case.Unless I´m forgetting something...

No, you can give the 5th player any role. In fact, the rules recommend not using the bio terrorist variant with 4 normal players+bio-terrorist, as the variant works best when playing with 2-3 normal players.

yes, one person's lost turn does not affect the turns of other players. other players may still give them cards according to what they rolled.

There is a two player varient with the "ghost Ship" but i have found the more players the more cut throat it becomes!! I have found that 3-4 players works best in my opinion.

The game is designed to be played cooperatively for up to 5 players, however, there is a great single player scenario provided in the rules as well. The game comes with 40 S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents (8 for each player to a max of 5 players), and 20 S.H.I.E.L.D. Troopers (4 for each player to a max of 5 players) creating a starting hand of 12 cards. If players were to adjust the numbers (say each player gets 7 S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents and 3 S.H.I.E.L.D. Troopers, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. Officer), I believe that the game's integrity wouldn't be compromised and you could still play it with more players. In addition, you may need to add another villain group to adjust the difficulty if the game is too easy initially.

Not a lot, a few changes to the map and rules. When I play the first edition the allies usually win, but with the new map and rules the axis is always winng.

In this game you need to do four things: indicate your action on your turn, claim to take a role in defense, indicate the target of some actions, and challenge another player's claimed role.If she can manipulate them you might consider a picture card system. When she wants to act she raises a card. When she wants to target she points at someone.The biggest potential problem is if she wants to interrupt the action with a challenge and you don't notice until it's too late. Maybe a bell would do it.

It's a Three player minimum game. This is because of the three tracks of influence, which can have a very real impact on the game, and is where most of the fun comes from. If you modify the game to your own liking, and play it in a simple, "dominate the board" type of way, I can see it possible to play with only two, but a lot of the fun will be missed by doing so. There are a few you tube videos that go through gameplay, which will help you understand how the three player mode plays out.

Hmmmm they might be able to put their finger in the dispenser slot and push against the side wall to try to advance it. Not sure how much resistance is on it.

i don't believe so, the game-play doesn't involve you directly controlling one unit, you have to command them to do things...

You don't have to read to much but to really understand the plot behind the game you do need to read some texts. But most of the time there are cut scenes that explain what is going on. As for the dying in this game. If there are two players then as long as both don't die then your good. If its single player than its a little tougher but if you do die you respawn at the same place you died in. So it's hard yet easy at the same time. It does take some thinking to defeat the enemies. Also this game makes a difference in co-op so I would recommend that your kid has someone to play with. Hope this helped.

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.

My problem with the game is when I am in the Room with Castro, firing away at him point blank, he doesn't die. Instead I had to jump out the window and get away in the helicopter. I'm not a gamer so that may have been the problem.

Both the overlord and heroes have cards that are hidden from each other. Playing solo would break this mechanic especially for the overlord who heavily relies on using the secrecy of his hand.

If you are talking about the height in the game, I tell you that the leaders are not regular pieces, the don't count as part of the troops, simply they are a kind of power up for the territory where the were placed, and they move or disappear with the troops placed with them. Altering the balance of the battles making mor interesting the game.

Absolutely not. My wife and I play this game (I play Jack) an we constantly swap wins. We've played six games : the police have captured Jack three time and Jack has escaped three times. I you've got two players who are into the game, then it plays well. This is one of the most balanced and challenging games I played.
