Does the number of players affect how hard it is to win?
Yes, the cards to form a cure are spread into more hands, so trading is more necessary. And I find that luck of the draw says hand my cards to the person just before me, meaning the diseases advance the maximum number of times between cure in hand and the cure.
On the other hand: you have more abilities between your specialists, you have more minds working on the puzzle, and you're more likely to have the special card you need onhand instead of being played early because of handlimit.
