Max number of players (family edition)? Box says 10, but there are only 5 answer cards...

You do only have 5 cards but you can do teams of 2 people per card so that will take you to 10.

I think it says up to 10 players because you have the option of team play. Not positive, but I think that's the case.

UGAFan30 is correct. The directions indicate that the game can be played with more than five players by creating teams.

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:)

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 Need a National Mah Jongg League card can order from NMJLalso. 3-4 players is fine 2 no so good. 1 draw stack and either a stack for discard or leave hem turned up as you discard. Be sure and check your cards you may need to use both seasons and flowers to have total of 8, I only had four of each in my pack of cards. Hopefully they sent extra jokes and some blank cards also. I find the cards ae good for practice when not playing. I really do not like to play You may like a Mah Jongg travel set better. Good Luck

We just play one at a time. I have not checked to see if it would play more. Go online to check out the manual.

Yes, you can use the 12 player version for only 4 players. You would just leave the last 8 pages of the booklet blank, although the more players the merrier!

My kids said it only works for 4 players. I believe there are more playing pieces, but only 4 can play at a time.

On the back of my game it says you can get a box of additional cards anywhere toys and games are sold. Not sure how easy that will be though because I had trouble finding the game. Toys R Us and Barnes and Noble didn't have the game when I was looking for it but found it at Amazon. Haven't looked for the additional cards yet as the game has lots of cards and 7 questions on each card.

This is set up to have different levels of difficulty, from about 1st through 8th grade, so a mix of ages can play. Some adults will find the answers too easy, and since there are not that many cards both adults and kids will simply learn all the answers after a few games.

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.

You can play the game solo, so minimum player is one. The game itself comes with enough to play four maximum...but I know there is a promo out there that can add a fifth player.

Yes. The only thing limiting the number of players is the number of pads in the box. Add pads, add players.

I am not sure why this description says 39 new destination cards. I believe that it is 35, which includes Big Cities and Mystery Train Card Destination Tickets. These allow for a few different game types to be added on.

Both good questions that we also are stumped by...very poor directions! We played with just one deck of cards and no jokers with four people....maybe if you were playing with more people you would use both decks?!

The game says there are 700 questions. There are 7 questions on a card, so probably 100 cards

I was introduced to the "8 player" game recently. We had 9 players so two worked as a team. It was so much fun, I had to buy the 12 player game for us to play Christmas Eve. It is like the telephone game we played when we were kids. The first person writes down the word they have from their card and draws it...passes the booklet to the person on their right that person has to guess what they drew...then the next person draws what they guessed...etc. Sounds easy but - not everyone can draw or thinks the same. You will love it!!! Since there are only 12 pages you may want to team up with the 12. I was introduced to the "8 player" game recently. We had 9 players so two worked as a team.
