Is this fun for all 8 players? I would hate for someone to feel they got a crumby, boring character..

This mystery is really well balanced, the characters are all really fun. What's more important is how willing your players are to act their character.

This is a LOT of fun for all eight players. No duds. You must have exactly eight players, however. It doesn't work otherwise.

Yes, everyone has a great time! In fact, my husband and I create extra characters for ourselves to allow others the opportunity to "play". My husband guides the characters while I serve the food and drinks. It allows the players freedom to concentrate on the "happenings".

Fiasco is best when played with a maximum of five players. Could you have more players? Yes, physically it is possible, but it is not as fun and I don't suggest you do it.At six players, you have enough to split a group into two games. Alternatively, if you are the host of the event, you might choose not to play a character but rather act as a rules facilitator. You could also play any of the various NPCs that come up.At seven or more players, the game is going to take too long and you throw off the built rhythms of the story.

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

It's suitably playable with any number within the range. 5 is AMAZING when you've got solid veteran players. I find 6-7 to be the sweet spot, where 8-10 can get a little hectic. At that point the voting becomes a little less useful and you're left to rely on your gut and attempts to fish people out through harsh interrogation.

I wish I would have asked this question before I purchased the game! I had friends that had games with the two extra's, and I had purchased Lethal Luau for a dinner party I was having with 6 people, thinking there were two extras. BUT IN LETHAL LUAU THERE ARE NO EXTRAS! So My husband and I both played two parts which just ruined the whole thing. We would switch hats (nothing we could do about the costume) so that the other players knew which we were at that time. But sometimes our characters were asking ourselves questions so it got really confusing. You need 8 guests to play this game. Have a good time!

You can make it work for two players but no where near as fun as 3+. Heads there is no really helping each other out because they are your one and only enemy.

I think you have to have at least two players. I know they will have NPCs to fill in for the rest.....the game is most certainly meant for kids...I play it with my kid sometimes just as a bonding thing....my kid just checked and she says you must have 2 players

I'm going to say no. I think (whether the game says it or not) you need at least three people. But I would go even further and say to have some real fun with this game, you need at least four people.

The great aspect of this game is you have to customize each game you play with the resource cards you have and don't have and the role cards that are in play. If a player doesn't adapt their game play there are plenty of opportunities to derail their plans. 2 and 3 player games tend to get lobsided as two roles are in play each round, but plays very well 4-6 players. Still trying to get a 7 or more together. The more players however the longer time needed. Also some of the cards rules aren't clear and if misinterpreted can offset the balance of the game. Same with switching in the wrong expansion cards.

Can play with 4, more is better. 8 is about max. We have a lot of fun with this game.

Multiple quests mix it up a bit. The play is redundant depending on the players. Playing each class once and a new quest each time will help for a few rounds. I personally can't play this continually.

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.

Yes. I play it regularly with three other adults. There's no down time because everyone has input into what other players are doing during their turn, hence the "co-op" nature of the game. You all figuratively win or sink together. Just don't let anyone be bossy! Enjoy!

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.

either. but its more fun to not know and play along as the hostess. so 8 players.

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:)
