Does the Romulan expansion for this game add a 5th player? Or does it just give you more options for a 2 - 4 player game? Thx.

It officially gives more options for 2-4 players and a unique 3 player aspect. However my group was able to play up to six players with the expansion due to the hex layout.

With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here. I've played a few times through the intro story and have even played the single player story, enjoying the game each time. I do feel that, if played on a regular basis, with the same crew, you may find yourself losing some of your desire to play but that is where the expansions come in. You can grab the Breakin' Atmo expansion on the cheap and add 50 new cards to the decks for a change of pace or get the Pirates and Bounty Hunters expansion for some player v player action as well. I just purchased all of the expansions except the latest one and cannot wait to play. Keep Flyin' With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here.

Fiasco is designed for 3-5 players. More than five players and it doesn't work right, less than three and you have the same problem. I would not recommend playing with less than 3 players... 4 seems like the sweet spot to me.

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.

A little late to the answering for me, but the core set only comes with 3 ships. Two TIE Fighters and one X-Wing fighter. While you can use this to play a three player game, it is very unbalanced because the X-wing is a stronger ship, hence why it is meant to go against two TIE Fighters, not just one. With expansions though, you can make a very interesting force, which is ideally a two player or two team game. However, they recently released a Most Wanted Faction of outlaws and bounty hunters and the like, so that might make for an interesting three player game where each person has a different faction. I will certainly be getting some of those for smaller games. A little late to the answering for me, but the core set only comes with 3 ships. Two TIE Fighters and one X-Wing fighter.

I definitely played with one other person. However, I am not sure if you could play with up to 4 people offline. I am not sure how the game would handle 4 people playing in the same area going in 4 different directions.

Seafarers expands the original Settlers of Catan, 3-4 player version. If you want to expand the 5-6 player addition, you need to buy that extension for Seafarers also. I hope that makes sense!

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.

The game is set for 2-4 players with slightly different start up for 3 and over. It can be played solo. There are only 4 ship models with the game, with more ship models you could add more players but probably would not want to add more than 1 or 2.

Yes, it can. It can be fun (for a while as you learn it) but eventually you'll want the add on ships to make it more interesting and exciting. We actually play with 2 core sets (the extra dice and accessories help too) and extra ships.

The game plays well in its own. Try a few games just using the core rules. If you find you like it, you can purchase more ships later. A second core set is a good place to start, since it gives you three more ships and extra dice (which are a necessity) for fairly cheap.

They make a 5-6 person expansion specific to traders and barbarians. You would also need to have the original Catan game, the Traders and Barbarians expansion, the Traders and Barabian 5-6 player expansion, and regular Catan 5-6 expansion.

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.

Check out the expansions. I believe that is one expansion with rebels that allows players to "attack" each other and take over others' planets.

I agree with the previous two. Four or five are the ideal numbers for a Legacy campaign. I don't think I'll be giving too much away saying this, but there are 5 factions for each player to choose before every game whose advantages evolve as your game progresses. I would imagine that with three people, you would tend to stick to the same three factions since the other two would miss out on their bonuses early on and fall behind. I would try to get a full table if you're looking to have a Legacy campaign.

Robert,Yes I have played it with 2 players and it is fun. We have almost all of the Dominion sets and like to mix and match them. I hope you have as much fun playing Dominion as we do.Elizabeth

A 2 player game lacks a few elements of what makes the game fun for me. However, many feel a 2 player game is better than a 3 player game: Check out the extensive coverage at http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28143/race-galaxy . Sarah, I will still recommend the game for what it does and it's very attractive price point.
