The minimum for an exchange to happen is 2, absolutely!
The minimum for an exchange to succeed -- that is, for most players to have fun and feel satisfied -- is probably higher, I think. Last year, we set the minimum threshold to play exchange-style at 9 participants. If 8 or fewer players had signed up, we would have played challenge-style instead.
Generally, FK fans have very little in common. We not only favor different characters and pairings, we favor irreconcilable philosophical and moral interpretations. We don't even agree on the show's genre: is it horror, sci-fi, detective mystery, action adventure, romance, historical fiction? Every FK fan has her own understanding.
I worry that if we play exchange-style with too few people, perhaps almost everyone will end up feeling hurt by mismatches across such fundamental disagreements.
