The Spanish-to-English game

...I didn't notice it was so dificult SORRY!
I was thinking in: Are we just playing two people this game?. But I don't know if it's right or not

What about this.

Do just two of us play this game?

Don't worry, the idea behind the game is to translate a sentence as accurate as possible. It's a way to practice English for all users of this forum (or at least the three of us).

I don't think that captures the original meaning in spanish.

1) The game may be for more players, but only two are actually playing
2) Both players know themselves and refer to themselves as "we"

Okay, you might be right here...

PD: also, it should be "is this a 2-players game?"

You're are absolutely right here ...it should have been "Is this a two-players game?" although I've heard this structure in spoken English

D: I just understood that "town expired" joke

hahahaha

PS: By the way, in English "PD" is translated to "PS" or P.S. meaning "Post Script".

mhm... I think

Do just the both of us play this game?

and

Do just two of us play this game?

are right...
The quiz is, whose turn is now?

[pspCaracas]

Google's translate says:

Only two people play this game?

Babel fish's translation is worse in this case:

We only played two people this game?

I know they're machine translators...but I just wanted to check it out.

So, pspCaracas, who do you think is the next? (Or more correct)
Neither google nor babel fish

although I've heard this structure in spoken English

I agree, but that's when you affirm something and just want confirmation. E.g. "This is it?" when you're almost sure it is.

OK, just like in french, because PD in french refers to a fag

As you say both answers were right, I wold say that any can post a new phrase
