Increase from 4-8 players

[utareangara]

Why is this game max 4 players? Its so fun, Imagine this with 8 ppl. how crazy would it be. Why dont they increase it?

Because the original game has only enough cards for 4 players only.

Not only that, but how the action cards and color-switching work have a huge influence on how a "round" goes. They're meant to change the flow of the game in many different ways. The way it is, you can directly influence the two people next to you but usually not the person directly across from you. This creates a dynamic that would be nearly impossible to replicate with more than four people.

Having more than 4 would also incur situations where many people may not even get a chance to play. Imagine a game where the right side of the board kept reversing the flow of play before it gets to the left side of the board, and nobody on the left got to play for an entire round? This makes the game entirely unfair and unpredictable.

When you have a game where a major element is luck, the way it is designed basically dictates and limits the amount of players that could be in any particular round or match.

That being said, it would be interesting to see an 8-16 player tournament style situation, though the games could end up cumulatively taking longer than Monopoly. Nobody wants to sit down and play a single go for 6 hours just to see one player win.
