1 copy with Remote Play Together

Everyone controls their own hero and can wander off, start conversations and make choices the others did not agree to, which creates great stories and the odd argument.
Combat is turn-based, so there is time to plan and talk.
A full run takes many dozens of hours, so it works best as a weekly campaign night.
