About the game
Japanese Breachers join the fight against the Achab Corporation! With Avatars inspired by the lore of their country, they are ready to make fast and deadly raids in the Database, where they will prove that they are second to none in skill and determination. Their programs and technology are innovative and ingenious, so the Breachers community has already learned to respect and fear them. But this will not satisfy their thirst for fortune and glory! Kabuki Nights expansion includes the components needed to play The Breach games with up to 6 players. New Breachers will join the Database attack and use new Avatars Gura and Kusari to infect its Rooms. —description from the rulebook

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Breach: Kabuki Nights for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
