Wizard's Quest - thoughts? good for 2?

Okay, so I just got this bad boy in the mail from a trade (my first ever) and I am stoked that it just happened to come together before I also happen to have a free day this weekend where I'll be going to see a friend to game. Huzzah!

But my main question is whether WQ is any good with just two. Another friend might make it later in the day, but I'd like to play a few games of this if we can. Any varients (like not playing with one of the regions to make the map smaller/increase the interaction) anyone has tried? Any thoughts about it in general would help.

Looking forward to some great gaming and beer/pretzels.

Also, I'd like to take Starcraft, but he wont know the rules, I'll be teaching and I've only played once. Any great tutorials out there? Even if there are, if I can't get him to read the rules beforehand, I dont know if I wanna spend my whole day reading rules to a game when I could just be playing other good trash we have.

Oh, and there's not a whole heckuva lot BGG-wise either. Even the files won't download for me!
Help me F:ATties, you're my only hope!

Good game.

Very light almost Risk-level beat em up. The main feature is a massive dummy player in the form of an orc army that really mixes things up.

Those damn orcs breed like rabbits. Another neat feature is the treasure hunt objective.

Check out this Windows port - should help in learning the game.

Awesome!

Thanks Neon, I'll have to give this a whirl when I get home - hopefully before this weekend (we'll see).

I'm stoked about WQ!

It's excellent with any number of players. Any game must be great if it has a rule for
F R E N Z Y ! ! !

Does the windows port have AI?

Yes -- the only bad thing about WQ is that fucking Peacemaker.
