Is this only a two-player game? I'd love to have four people be able to jump in.

Yes and no, the core game is 2 player because of the amount of ships. With expansions however you can have larger more complex games like 3 on 3.

What I did was build more lego x-wings and tie fighters. We also have a toy Millennium Falcon that is perfect size, and I made an empyreal ship with equal stats as the Millennium Falcon. You can print cards off images from the internet. Give everyone 2 or 3 ships. If you don't find this too cheesy you and your friends can expand the game for free that way.

Yes you can play 2-on-2 pretty well and its a lot of fun playing teams...if you play a 200-300 point squadron build game, you could even do 3-on-3...
174364
No. The starter only come with two ties, and an x-wing, But with the other expansions you can easily make a 100 or 200 point force and split it amongst four players! I've put together a bounty hunter fleet if 100 points. Three generic firesprays to take on Imperial or Rebel (terrorists). ENJOY!

You can play with up to 3 with the base set and can easily expand with add-ons. We've had several games of 6 or more

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.

With the core set only you can play up to three players with each controlling a ship. More ships will equal more people just note that there will be player elimination this way.
174368
there can be as many players as ships (with the starter kit that would be 3 with everyman for himself or 2 tie vs. 1 x-wing), but things will get boring when your ship is eliminated.

I meant to add that you will definitely need to invest in a few core sets (2-4 of them), along with several expansion ships to have a big force on both sides but totally worth it and a lot of fun!!!

This is GREAT for 2 players. I mostly play it with just 2 people but I've also played with 3 and 4 players. The only change is the number of cards each person gets so it's really easy to add players to the game.

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

I have played with 2 players several times and had some fun, tense games. The game really shines with 3-5 though, in my opinion. I'd probably look to other games if you want a *primarily* 2-player experience.

Although you can play with just two, the game gets better with more people. The maximum number of players is seven but the optimal number is four or five.

Yes. There are a different set of rules for 2 players (no double tracks) which makes it challenging. It's more fun with 3+ people but I play it with my son a lot and we have a blast.

Two people can play it. We've played with as many as seven, but four seems to be the ideal amount. Great game!

Nope, you can easily play with just two people. I usually just play one on one with my girlfriend. And if you get the Reaper expansion it introduces a third "player" on the board, as you can move the Reaper around and try to make it land on your opponent. Have fun!

It has to be played with more than 2 people... Which is a bummer! My husband and I love the game but can only play when we are entertaining.

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.

Ignore the "yes." I stupidly clicked the wrong button. I wouldn't recommend it. It's possible, but it's one more thing to juggle. You're already responsible for the rules and story, and while it's possible to play a player character as well, it's tough enough to run when you're new to gaming. If you're still interested in the game, I ran the scenario here fine with two players. A couple of encounters are probably best scaled down, but I believe the book tells you where to. If you have at east two other people, you can run this and learn the rules as you go. If you then decide you also wish to play a character, knock yourself out.

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.

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.

It is an online game, you can play WITH more than 2 people at the same time. As far as yourself controlling 2 characters at the same time, I don't believe so.

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

You may have as many as 12 players, but it is more fun with more players. I would say four players would be the least amount of people you would want to play with.
