A tip for this size
Eight still fits around one table: pass the phone clockwise and let the round run on the default timer. Two spies are possible but a single one is more tense.

Questions
How many spies should I use with 8 players?
One is the classic choice. The game allows up to 3 for 8 players, which is a third of the group rounded up. Use 1 for a balanced round.
How long should the timer be?
Eight to ten minutes. With the default eight minutes, each of 8 players gets about 60 seconds of talk.
Which mode is best?
Blind Spy suits this size best. You can change the mode on the setup screen for each round.
