I liked the first go at Venedig, but I think five people was too many for an introductory game as we had little control..and no idea of how the game would play, which led to lots of random "I guess I'll try this" moments. Looking forward to another try with three. —WEM

do you think it would work with 2?

For two players, Venedig introduces a dummy third player that adds cards to the table in an automated fashion — and I typically find alterations like this unappealing, so I'm not likely to try the game with only two. —WEM

I saw one of these lying around in the AMIGO office the other day. Might give it a try.

I'd suggest trying Venedig with three players or at most four. With five players, we felt like we had little control, which might be due to us being novices...or it might not. —WEM
