Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Quicksand: Danger Mode for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. 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.
