2 players?

By David B, in Red November

Hello all,

Sorry, I have been asking the same/similar question over a few board game forums (fora?) on the ff site; I hope this doesn't qualify as 'clutter'.

Anyway, I generally game with my fiancee - most weeks we will play two or three games just the two of us, so we are always on the lookout for good two player games. Anyway, Red November looks like a game we would both like.

The blurb says 3+ players, but 1-2 with optional rules. How good are these optional rules? How good is it playing just as 2? Can you play as '4', in that each person essentially plays as 2 people, or is that just rubbish? A few games work well like that, others don't.

Many thanks in advance for any advice,

All best,

David.

I like playing with 2 people, each one with 2 gnomes.

I don't see a problem with each person controlling more gnomes. Just count the number of gnomes playing, not the number of people, when it comes to the board setup.

Im glad someone asked that question. Ive been interested in this game but haven't bought it because of the 3+ because it's usually just me and my wife playing. Thank you for asking!
