Can this game be played by just 2 people? If so, would it be any fun without a larger group?

It can be answered with 2 players; my husband and I play it every once in a while. But it's a bit more fun with 3+ so that you can use the "special" tiles that make the game a bit more fun. Definitely a great game; but if you're looking for a 2-player game, there are better options out there.

Honestly this game wasn't that much fun with a big group! I wouldn't recommend it and I'm an avid board gamer!

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

The game is playable with two people, but it is much more fun with four or more. I wouldn't get it if you would only be able to play with two people.

You can play with just 2 people, but it would be a lot more fun with more than 2 people. It is also pretty hard so if you're not good at trivia questions ( like me) it isn't all that fun.

Yes it sure can! My boyfriend and I play it in hotel rooms when traveling, and sometimes in the evening when we are bored, or waiting for dinner to finish cooking. We enjoy it and the games go really fast.

Yes, Bezzerwizzer can be played with just two people. In fact, we play Bezzerwizzer with just two people most of the time but any game is going to be more fun with a large group of family and friends.

It can be played with 2 players, but I feel it's more fun with more people. Still a good time for a smaller group, though.

This game can be played with just two people and it's still much fun! It's my personal opinion, however, that the more people involved the more fun it will be. With just two people there will only be 8 active category tiles in play per round as opposed to 16 category tiles with four players. More tiles means more opportunities to play the attack tiles and makes the game a bit more dynamic.

2 or more people could help each other solve the puzzles, but only 1 player is needed. There are no other rules included with the game for "taking turns" though I'm sure one could invent some. Most games are frustrating because you can't play them alone. Not the case with this.

I've successfully played the original (without the expansion) with 5 and 6 players and it doesn't seem to make it easier or harder. Just deal 2 player cards to each, and play as you usually would.

Yes, you can play with two players. I have had a number of satisfying games with only two players and two players playing more than one character. I think more players is more fun because it gives the characters more personality, but the game can also be played solo or even single player with multiple characters.

You can play this game with a minimum of 2 players; the game recommends between 2-4, but I've played it with many more than that. It's also fun to play in teams of two if you have a lot of players.

It can, but to get the full effect of the game, I would recommend playing with at least 4. I played with 3 players the first time and I felt that the game didn't have the full charm and effect. Also, it can allow one player to become too strong. 4 or 5 players would balance the game better. It is hard to get those 5 people together everytime you want to play though!

Absolutely. I think it's more fun with 3 or 4 players but works just fine with two.

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.

Theoretically, you can play with as many people as you want. You just need two white dice and two black dice for each person around the table. It would probably end up being really convoluted and complicated with more than five people, and would likely be a really, really long game, and you'd have to worry about the narrative breaking down, but it would also likely be a lot of fun and would be pretty insane near the end. Four is the preferred number, five is the suggested maximum as per the rules, however.

The game is intended for a game master and two or more players, but it can be played by only two people. Not the published adventures, at least not easily or without heavy modification.

The game says it is for 2-4 people, however, there are six roles that players can take so it is possible to play with six if you wanted. I have played it with 2,3, and 4 personally and it was always fun but easy. I have never lost on any difficulty, and while it is possible to play all six roles I worry that it would make it too easy.

This is a GREAT game but not for 2 players. It's possible but the more players, the better, just like many other games.

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.

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.

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.

This is an actual game; not an online one. As with the larger edition, you need 2-4 players.

It is possible. The instructions include directions for an "expert" variant for 2 players. The instructions recommend that you play a few times with 3-7 players before trying the 2 player version. I haven't tried it with 2 players, so I have no idea how it compares to the normal 3-7 player game.
