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 TRICKTAKERs Little is 30–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
