Learn English – Which of the following is correct (or better): “Two Players” or “Two Player” as a game menu item

grammatical-numbergrammaticality

I have published a simple game for two players, whose menu contains the following:

  • Single Player (human vs. computer)
  • Two Players (two players playing on the same device)
  • Bluetooth (two players on two different devices)

(Without the texts in parentheses.)

So, is it correct to say "two players" or "two player" (as in "a two-player game")? If both are correct, which one is better for this purpose?

Best Answer

Just as we can speak of a two-man canoe, we can speak of a two-player game. Best to use the hyphen, though.
