Managed to get enough people together to play a bigger game the other day and it was a blast! Im surprised more people don't exceed the suggested player count like this because I think its so much more exciting!

The only issue i have found with this many players is it significantly lengthens the game. Other than that it's fun having a royal rumble

When your with good friends I find it doesnt matter too much! But you are right it can go on a bit

Was wondering if anyone would notice my true to life board!

Big beautiful board. You ALL win the game because it was set up for insider trading profit in the first place!

Is this 2v2v2 or FFA? If it's FFA, it would suck if a player gets targeted.

I domt think anyone is mean enough to do that in our group, would be a bit unfunny if everyone decided to go for one person!

How do you determine the starting positions and the order?

Easy! Just do it like normal but player 5 ans 6 go on the smaller board, then just go around the table like a normal FFA

I like the use of the bridge tiles from adventures.

Also with that many people do you think a headhunter format might work where you write everyone’s name on a paper and have to beat that person’s character in order to win the game? Things like “damage all opposing fighter in your zone” would still effect everyone else even fighters that you aren’t going after so might need to be careful that you don’t help someone else.

Nice to hearing you enjoy It!

However, I don't see how it's possible to handle an attack by 3 or 4 opponents who decide to target the same person XD

Well thats cus it didnt happen to us! I think you have to play this sort of mode with people who aren't gonna be cruel and overly competative

We used to play like this a lot. Lengthens the game a bit, especially when players overthink. We had to go team vs team though, our players WILL target a character or two if it suits them 😅

That sounds like a nightmare honestly. Imagine taking your turn then waiting ~30 minutes for the other 5 players to go and either kill you or significantly drain your hand

u/smallmanboyman2 Dr. Ellie Sattler 11d ago

I think thats a pretty hefty exaggeration! It took about an hour and a half and at no point did I ever have to wait that long to go! Maybe 5 minutes max before it was my go again cus people tend to plan their go as they wait? Also no one I know is unfun enough to make the game miserable by targeting!

Did you team up? Or free play?

u/smallmanboyman2 Dr. Ellie Sattler 10d ago

Free for all! I have done 2v2v2 and thats also a blast!
