Guessing about 10 minutes. Of course, the more times you play the quicker set-up goes. Plus it helps when others you play with become more familiar with the game so they can help. **Q: Is the pre-order for the Marine Worlds expansion the English version? The cards in the photo are in German.** A: I'm not sure. This is for the base game only so you'd have to ask about that on the marine worlds expansion post. **Q: Will this game fit on a 3.5x3.5 ft table for two players?** A: No - this game takes alot of space! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing game *by E***E on 17 March 2026* Amazing game ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Parfait *by H***E on 14 May 2023* À part la rejouabilité et la thematique du jeux, c vraiment bien pensé ...
