Can this be a 4 person game?

I've played it as a 2, 3, and 4 player game. In my opinion, it works better with an even number of players. You have to modify the player's starting areas to accommodate multiple players, but other than that, it works well with 3-4 players. You will need more more of the ships than just the 3 that comes in the starter box set however.

If you buy more ships it can be as 4, 5, 6+ person game. This starter kit only has 3 ships though. The extra ships are usually sold on amazon for $13-$15 each.

Yes but you would need to get more models as the original set has models for 3 player. Originally there were 4 factions to play with: Federation, Klindgon, Romulan and the Dominion. However, now we have the Borgs. The Borgs are still relatively new with only 3 ships. The scenarios that came with each ships are mostly for 2 players. There is one or two of them that are for 3 players. for four players you can either use the 2 players scenario and spit each team into 2 players or you can just make up your own scenario.

Yes. I manage a game store in Chatsworth, California where the game is played on a frequent basis privately and in tournaments. Generally we have played multi player games in a team format but I suppose it could be played on a free for all basis. We don't have any rules about faction purity which on the one hand would limit killer combos and redundancy (everyone running a Picard or Kirk with three cheat deaths) but which might on the other hand give one faction (Federation has most of the killer characters, Kirk, Picard, Sulu, Scotty etc.). The main thing is to work out a points balance where choices have to made and the game will not become too long and tortuous. Yes.

I would think it would not be very fun with three. I've played it with four or more and that seems to work best. The more the merrier!

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.

You can do 4 people simultaneously (even more if you buy extra equipment). When you purchase a game just look at the back of the cover and see how many players it is made for.

It could be indeed. You could even play it by yourself playing all 4 characters. So for two people, You can probably control 2 characters each. So yes, It's fun. At least for me it is.

I prefer it with 4, but it is perfectly fine with 2 players. There is a lot of shuffling though.

In my point of view, I do not think this game is that fun with only two players........It might be ok though. I have always played with at least 4.

You can, but it's not as much fun. It's about a bunch of people putting answers in and if there are only two of you, there won't be much of a competition to figure out which is the real answer. For us it's about people putting in very funny answers mixed in with answers that could possibly be correct. The only way to play with two people is for the host of the round to put in about 5 answers for you to choose from. Believe me.... it's a lot more fun with 4 or more.

Yes, you can play as few as three. Of course, the recommended number of players is probably four+.

You can play with just two people. It is more fun with more people (we have played with as many as 7), but can still be fun with just two. I personally love this game. It is a challenge to be creative.

You should be able to play with 4 people, but the more you have playing, the more hilarious things become, and that means you'll really enjoy the game.

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.

This game can handle up to 5 players on its own. If you mix it with other sets of the game, you can get up to 10.

It really depends on how you define "fun". It'll certainly be challenging and a lot of the fun in this game is the feeling of trying to beat pretty significant odds. 3 might be a more decent balance, but you should still have a good time with only 2 players.

Yes- my friends and I have played up to a four player game so far- it is a blast.

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.
