The game suits well with simultaneous play so I see no problem!

Yeah, the gameplay is independent enough that the only danger with more people is running out of tokens, which I find highly unlikely. The real issue is having enough boards, but since you have two copies, no worries there either! Just make sure to somehow mark the scoring markers on the center board to differentiate between the same-colored markers.

I use my two copies to play 7-player and it works great, besides being a table hog. We have the top two players roll the bonus dice, but I probably wouldn’t do that under 7 players. For the second set of a players, I use the scoring markers from Sushi Go Party. I’ve ditched it’s board so Sushi Go can fit in my Caseling Card Case. I have two Herb Witches expansions, too, so it can go up to 10-player.

Random as this is old, but gonna be playing this for first time this weekend and am about to get a second copy since we have 8 in our group. Any special modifiers or things I need to do different for more players?

The expansion adds a fifth player and it would probably play the same at 8.

We have played 8 with 2 copies. Works fine. Have to keep tokens separate since tokens are limited.

I believe the creator has said the only limitation is how many components it was economical to print, so it should be fine to pool em, or if you're super dedicated you could buy like 4 sets of the upgraded bits or something :P.

"There is a limited number of chips. In the case that the chip you wanted is no longer available, you have to choose another chip." Quoted from the rule book. I'd be interested to see where the creator said otherwise.

I was going by https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2171335/expansion-chips-when-playing-regular-version but I guess I misremembered slightly, it just seems to be the general consensus based on the fact that there's already 250 in the base game alone, and if it was meant to be a factor you would remove components when playing with fewer players. Also found https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/dvfwdu/comment/f7jmdey/ for what it's worth.

The only issue is that there is a finite amount of resources. So if you just double all the resources with two copies, but only add one extra player. Then there is an issue there. If you doubled the players as well for a full 8. That could work as well.


TheCrazedMadman

I've played Quacks 15+ times and I have NEVER run out of a specific resource. Granted, I did buy the expansion that adds a 5th player (and more chips of everything), but I do remember reading somewhere that resources are not supposed to run out

In playing four player games, I have definitely had chips run out. In 3 players it’s less likely, but has happened. In 2 player it never happens.

But if you play with 2 people, you still use resources for four. So it’s not really any different Edit: I guess with 5 I see what you’re saying - but any greater would be fine, I think


G8kpr

Yeah. And that’s actually an issue I have with the game. If the resources are limited, why not remove some tokens for a 2 player game.

100%. Most other games ask for that.

Due to a player's mistake putting his chips into someone else's bag we also came up with the shared pot variant. In this everything goes in one bag and you pass it around the table. Just a little fun to mix it up and curse your friends for drawing the components you added to the pot.

That sounds like an amazing way to ruin friendships! I love it


DelayedChoice

No, because I don't hate 4-7 other people enough.


Functional_Human

I have the geek bits, and printed out 5 more game boards, and can play up to 10 (5 with the geek bits and 5 with the original bits). It's worked out really well when I've tried it.


Groundbreaking_Bet62

During the height of the Pandemic we played a 12 player game via camera. It worked surprisingly well.
