This game is pretty decent with two players. I would probably like to play it with some more, but all I play it with is two players. Well worth it to get though for some kind of meaty fun.

My wife loves this game. We even played it a couple times in the hospital waiting for our third kid to show up.

My wife and I love this game 2 player. So when another couple comes over, we're eager to show it to them, so we play 4 player.

Result: Boring game. With 4 players, you go through the deck and find victims faster, so Jack escapes in almost every hand. This means that the winner of each hand is the person lucky enough to draw "Ripper Escapes." Yawn.

So count yourself lucky to have played only 2 player! In fact, I don't think the game even belongs on this list, it is so much better 2p that I wouldn't call it a multiplayer game at all.

I would see this game as extrmely boring with 2. I play this with my 4 member board game group, and could not see it as fun with 2. Might be more strategic but seems like most of the time it's to see when someone covers up a space to pass them...and well yeah. I need encouraging to try this with 2, so if anyone vouches that it is really fun I will bust it out with 2 someday.

Now this is a good 2 player game. I play it a bunch, and it very competitive. Wonderful addition to the list.

If my wife picks a game for a two-player session, then she actually much prefers to play Carcassonne (which I keep loosing... ). She bought all its weird extensions, which I found much more interesting than the plain vanilla version of Carcassonne, although they considerably stretch the game length, allowing her to wallow in my defeat. We have played it quite often recently, and it works pretty well as a two player game (much more competitive).
