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 NEXUS: Legacy Edition Rulebook is 60–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists NEXUS: Legacy Edition Rulebook for ages 17 and up.
