What is the number of unique game states that can be created at the start of each game?

If you use the official app that can generate all possible configurations of 9 red/blue, 8 blue/red, 7 bystanders, and 1 assassin, then you get 25C9*16C8*8C7 kinds of key cards *2 for swapping red and blue, you have 200 cards each with two sides that cannot be shown simultaneously: *400*398*396*394*....*354*352 and the position of the cards don't matter so / 25! = 6.382847706*10^50 or 638,284,770,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible states. For folks with spatial OCD that think position matters, remove the 25! and the answer is 9.90057*10^75.

Does this game work as a party game?

We just played it at my twins' 14th birthday party with two 5-person teams. It works best with teams of 4-8 people. Much bigger than that, and the caucusing part of the game gets unruly.

Can only two people play this enjoyably?

If you play with only two people, it's no longer a game but more of an activity. I played it a few times just me and my wife and we both had fun, but it certainly lacks that thrill of competition when you play against another team. If you're looking to only play this with two players, I would not get it.

Would this game be good with 8-13 year olds?

Depends on their maturity level. I have a 12 & a 13 year old that play the game. They loved it from the get go and were able to learn and play the game very quickly. For younger players than that, if they seem to struggle you could probably handpick the cards so its easier for them to give clues or guess the clues given. But, like I said, my 12 & 13 year old learned it in one play and love playing it. Besides, this game can be played team vs team or all in the same team (cooperative). I hope this helps a little. Have fun! :-)
