Is there a way to modify the game so only 3 people need to play? I know the family version only requires 3 people but I'd rather buy this version.

It's a party game so it's really fun when you have a large group... If you're really curious, I'd check out this video which shows three people playing it. When you have more people, you get more guesses and have more fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie6c4soAQxM

Im sure you could play Wits and Wagers with 3, however, I would want to add that a larger group is a great deal more fun.

I don't see why you can't play with 3 players. I think it would work just fine. More players often makes the game more fun since there are more answers to bet on but 3 should be just fine in my opinion.

It could be done. However, the guessing part if the game depends somewhat on having a variety of wagers to choose from-the more the merrier.

Let me answer this carefully. You can play up to four people with ONE cartridge within the Kirby Figthers mode. The other three systems must use the download play feature on their systems but it works and only one cartridge is needed. Each person must have their own system and be in the same room with the one who has the cart in theirs. There is no adventure mode multiplayer so they cannot follow the adventure storyline within the game. Does that help?

The game comes with only 6 different colored pieces which seemed to us to be the limit; however, while I/we have never done this, why not try playing as couples, partners, etc. and see if this would give you what you seek.

From what I've heard, you can play it all right with the older editions. I'm wondering if it works with more than 4 people though, that's what I'm worried about.

It is designed so that you can play with as many people as you want. You can change the rules to work for your party & party size! You can split into teams. We've played with as many as 18 people. We were determined to finish the game and it took us about 5 hours with that many people, but we have never laughed so hard! You can have just as much fun playing and not reaching the "climax"!

We have played it with adults, children, and a mix. You can change it up pretty easily, depending on how involved you want the game to be. It's fast playing and chaotic. More luck than skill so you don't have to really concentrate to play the game - definitely not bridge!

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.

The advise from my family to you; get the game then invite a neighbor kid who has played it. It will take about thirty minutes to figure out; then you are set. My family said this game was definitely a keeper! Hope you enjoy it as much as my crew.

You have to make modifications to play with 2 or 3 people, but it can be done. You do need to have 4 players for a regulation game. When you play with 3, only do the first half of the Charleston plus a courtesy pass. When playing with 2, sit opposite one another; no Charleston. Our group's table rules for a 2-player game allow one courtesy pass, but no Charleston. The 2-player game is excellent practice for new players who are learning the card and how to play their hands, but it's a bit too easy to mahj to consider it a real game...still a lot of fun, though.

You can play the game solo, so minimum player is one. The game itself comes with enough to play four maximum...but I know there is a promo out there that can add a fifth player.

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

4 maximum, 2 minimum. I suppose you could play solo as well if you really wanted too. It is enjoyable with 4 players, just be prepared to play for a few hours (3-4hrs on first play through). I would say 2.5-3 hrs would be about a standard game when everyone has played before.

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.

Completely disagree with the "no" people. The game rocks whether 2 people or more. Yes, the dynamic is different with 3+ people, but it's still a very enjoyable game with two people. Have a friend who plays with his son all the time as a 2 player game and they love it as well.

There is a two player varient with the "ghost Ship" but i have found the more players the more cut throat it becomes!! I have found that 3-4 players works best in my opinion.

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.

Yes, it works just fine with two players. We've played it quite a bit with 2, 3 and 4 players and all play slightly differently but are all just as enjoyable.
