I'll mention a couple more: Space Base is quite good at all counts from 2-5. And the feel changes as you change player numbers because of the balance of own actions to actions on other players' turns. Medieval Merchant is another that plays great at every player count from 2-6. But because of the way that your income is handled, the pace of play is very different. With only a few players, you have to manage your money very carefully or you will quickly run out and lose badly, while with many players, your income per turn goes way up, but now the big constraint is on time rather than money. It has good tactical complexity and it can be played quickly if everyone knows the game. (We played a four-player game in about 40 minutes including setup at a convention when one of the players had an upcoming event).
For honesty, I want to give a shout out to Hansa Teutonica, specifically The Big Box which has a 3-5 player count. The original box listed 2-5, but the 2 player rules were removed from the big box because it wasn't as good. The game comes with a 2 sided board, specifically to adjust for player count.
Citadels is amazing. Does not get much love lately but… have so many good memories of it with high player count games. 7 is my favorite. Kind of fills in as a party game for 6-7 players. For the price, more people should give it a go
@@EfrainRiveraJunior I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you give me an example of his views being "political, not moral or ethical", and how that relates to the job he did as a consultant?
@@NartlebyTheScrivener - He is a follower of the PIP (Puerto Rican Independent Party). You can start by researching their political views about how Puerto Ricans were/are oppressed by Spain and the USA. The changes to the game were to fit and eliminate stereotypes that didn't/don't exist. You'll have to do your own homework. TH-cam deletes comments that are too long.

Love the shout out to Furnace ❤ trying to get that to the table more often
Rising Sun is your favorite game of all time? I'll have to look into this game.
also has a 2 player Variant that should be tried
Puerto Rico is my #1 favorite game of all time. We have played it a few hundred times at all player counts... except for two. I need to try it.
Yeah I also haven't tried the two player variant but it looks really good and by all accounts works really well
Viticulture scales perfectly.
Two games we like at different player counts: Ethnos, Forbidden Fruit.
The best player count for Agricola back there is 0 😂.
Dinogenics scales as good as Viticulture.
Hanabi!
Jason Perez deleted his videos on the Puerto Rico issues.
Oh did he really? I had been meaning to watch it but hadn't had the chance
@@RoomandBoardReviews No, it looks like he deleted an older one, but his most recent video on it is still up.

@@RoomandBoardReviews - You didn't miss much. 😂
Jason's view on the game is mostly political, not ethical.
@@RoomandBoardReviews - I'm going to watch it now. 😊
@@EfrainRiveraJunior I think his follow up was more on how he was treated throughout the process, but again haven't yet watched
TTR bigot... lol 😂
Jason Perez did a horrible job as a consultant in Puerto Rico 1897.
How so?
