# How many teams are in a game?

**Six teams**, normally. The system groups you automatically.

Some games end up with **5 or 7** instead. That's because we allow flexibility on [Start Zone](https://help.monopoly-run.co.uk/en/article/what-are-the-start-zones-and-how-do-we-pick-one-xqb721/) and [Team Speed](https://help.monopoly-run.co.uk/en/article/team-speeds-park-run-joggers-or-runners-1so6bp8/) when building games, and we'd rather redistribute a few teams than leave a game with too few in it to be worth playing.
