The description says 5-10 players but can you play with 4 people? If not, what other 2-4 player games are fun besides Coup?

No you can't play with just four people. If you are looking for other good bluffing games is suggest ultimate werewolf one night. It's 4 player and quick. Also check out the YouTube channel tabletop for excellent play vids

You can't play with four on this game because the deductions are off and too easy! Love Letter is a pretty fun one, but it's very short and there's no bluffing. Coup is a big hit with us, though.

Can't play with less than 5, and I would recommended 7 or more for the most fun.

I recommend Tsuro of the Seas, Zombie Dice, or Firefly - all good 4 person games.

you cant play with less than 5 people. but i can offer some suggestions on other games. Pandemic, King of Tokyo, DC Deck Building games, Lords of Water deep are all very fun games to play.

You can't play with four players, it just wouldn't make sense. Other fun games for 2-4 players? Milles Bornes is a lot of fun; I definitely recommend it.

It plays alright. The choices in the different zones are reduced (blocked off) when playing with fewer than 4 players. So, while it's still playable, it's a lot more fun with 4.

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.

There are a lot of variations to the game listed in the instructions which are suited for two players. The game is fun with two players but I think it's best with 3-4.

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

You can play with just 4 players with the 12 player party pack. If you normally only play with 4 players I would recommend that you get the same game but with 8 player pack instead of 12.

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.

Yes. Up to 6 can play but I have only played with 1 other person and it goes well.

This is great game for 3 to 6 players. You can play it with two, but it is more fun with more players.

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.

It is best for large groups, however, there are variations for small groups. It would still be fun for your family of 4 but is best for 6+ as indicated on the game. Just get it and invite some friends over. You will love it!

We play this game with 3 players, as well as 2 players. There isn't any difference - just use the 3 player rules and instructions.

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.

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:)

It's a Three player minimum game. This is because of the three tracks of influence, which can have a very real impact on the game, and is where most of the fun comes from. If you modify the game to your own liking, and play it in a simple, "dominate the board" type of way, I can see it possible to play with only two, but a lot of the fun will be missed by doing so. There are a few you tube videos that go through gameplay, which will help you understand how the three player mode plays out.

3 or more. Although, I tried with 3 and found that it probably works best if you have more than 3 (5-6 players would be a lot more fun). To be fair, we didn't follow all the rules to the letter (mainly bc the rulebook is so long).

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.
