This article will examine game play; player experience; and game design focused around the player count for games. Games will be divided up and examined by player count in this article which includes single player games; two player games; four player games; small group games of 5-8 players; big group games of 8+ players; mega games; and massive multiplayer online games. Game size and the player experience will be examined in addition to how to integrate player count in game design. Games sometimes include “dummy” player mechanics. These dummy players mimic or replicate other players in the game. These mechanics and how they are reflected in the player experience will be examined.
