Choosing a game
Some of our games are for large groups of players – others are for smaller numbers. You can use this table to see which of the games might be suitable for your particular playing group.
Note: where a number is in italics, that means you need the Expanded version of the game.
Note also that most of our games have at least one free extra character who can be added in if you have extra guests turn up at short notice. But we recommend that you start off by choosing a game of the right size, not by buying one that's smaller and planning to fill it out with free extra characters – because while they're fine for use in an emergency, they aren't as well integrated into the game as the "real" characters are!

You'll also want to consider if the game is going to be suitable for the age group of your players, or if they're perhaps a more conservative group. We've shown in the table above what we consider to the the "age certificate" of each game (in some cases, there are two alternative versions available). You can check what the ages mean, and more details about each game's suitability on our games for kids page.
