Answers come from the official rulebook, with the page to check.
SSO: The Rage of Montalbano is an expansion for SSO released in 2020 for 1–6 players, 90–120 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Glenn Ford and its main mechanics are Player Elimination, Point to Point Movement, and Modular Board.
This expansion for SSO includes additional crew members and ship locations along with a totally new 30 card mission representing the SSO being attacked by a deadly external threat, a second ship. It includes a box sufficient to hold all the SSO expansions so far (and a few more in the future) sleeved, replacement and upgraded components for the base game and an extended and improved rule book. SSO itself is a 1-6 player sci-fi survival horror game. Players must work together to survive and defeat the threat attacking the Space Ship Omega, but players win or lose as individuals. Once the threat to the ship has passed, it may be that not everyone can survive, if that happens your fellow crew may become your biggest threat. —description from the designer

The listed playing time for SSO: The Rage of Montalbano is 90–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists SSO: The Rage of Montalbano for ages 14 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.
