Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Kanban Menu is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Kanban Menu has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
