About the game
Removal is a fast-paced family game with easy-to-learn rules, designed by Michał Reszka, illustrated by Victor Wong. It’s to be played with 2 to 4 players, age 8 and up and you should be able to play it within 30 to 45 minutes. Each player takes on the role of a Removal company’s workers, trying to fill their car with all sorts of junk without breaking anything. Players gradually rummage through the house in an attempt to transport the most valuable objects and not drive around with empty car. Some objects cannot lie on their sides, others can be broken if you transport them not carefully, and some are so heavy that they cannot be carried anywhere but on the bottom. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Removal supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Removal is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Removal 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.
Removal has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
