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 Masters of the Universe is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Masters of the Universe for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Masters of the Universe has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
