Can Pandemic 2nd edition with the expansion be played by just one person? (Someone told me this.)

Not if you follow the rules exactly. However you can draw two or more roles and take turns using them as you would if there were more people (each role having its own cards for finding cures)

You should be able to solo play all parts of this game either by using multiple individual roles or just as one player, with the exception of the Eco-Terrorist variant. The Eco-Terrorist requires a minimum of 2 players.

I think I have the second edition Plus the factions expansion I think they are out with a fourth edition this year and a new expansion is coming out DEC this year. I don't think the faction expansion is worth it I hardly ever play it. If you need more info go to www.boardgamegeek.com

Yes you can play with 2 players. Just use 5 random guild cards along with only the cards that have a 3+ symbol on the bottom. :-D

Without the Pirate and Bounty Hunters expansion, the game is going to be fairly low-interaction with any number of players. So if you dislike that style of semi-solo play in other games, then you probably won't like it here either. You're mostly playing against the board, and the other player is just pressuring you to do it efficiently.But this aspect actually bothers me more with a larger number of players (where you have lots of downtime while a bunch of other players go), and bothers me less in a 2-3 person game.

It really depends on what your criteria is. If you're trying to be thrifty...Forbidden Island. If you're playing with younger kids...Forbidden Island. If you looking for something easy to setup and put away...Forbidden Island. If you want something a tad more intricate and complex... Pandemic. If you're playing with teenagers and up... Pandemic. I would factor in the Pandemic expansion, "On the Brink" as well. It really makes Pandemic a great game even better! I like both.

The expansions aren't big enough to play with alone. You need the main game. These are designed to be an add-on

Start with Forbidden Island. If you like it and would like to step up, Pandemic is the way to go. Adding the On the Brink expansion to Pandemic brings even more thrills with a hidden terrorist player, who battles against the rest of the players.

Yes, you need two to four players. You cannot play by yourself. It's like Solitaire only with more players. My granddaughters play it with me - the youngest is seven, but I learned with my cousin and his wife who are my age (70's) There is just enough awareness needed to make it interesting. It was like eating peanuts, we kept playing more games. I had taught my granddaughters how to play Solitaire when they saw me playing it and so it was an easy transition to Kings in the Corner. Enjoy! Beth A.

Yes, unless you figure out a way to make it playable with more than two people. Which could be possible, it is only designed for 1v1.

Yes, you can play it with just two. Of course more people makes the game longer and often times more fun.

The game is 1-8 players so you could play this game by yourself. Never tried it by myself though.

You can definitely do solo. I have done quite a few that way as well as playing 2 or 4 players. Four is much more challenging.

That is not how the game is designed, but you could have a split personality to play multiple characters. It is not really a co-operative game, as the encounters involve only a single player in a location at a time. It plays fine with 2 players. Dave Boardgames4us

This one can be played with 2 players or as multi-player as well. You can also combine it with other editions.

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 I have never played the original game and found it simple enough to understand. This is a stand alone expansion so you can add it to the original or play it alone. Great game and I believe they just came out with a six player board for this as an expansion. Well worth the money. We play it quite frequently.
