Depends on three things:

1. The difficulty of the koan
2. The craftiness of the master in constructing botht he example(s) & counter-example(s)
3. The perceptiveness/inuition of the students

I've played in games wherein it took hours for someone to guess the rule.  And the rule always turned out to be a simple one.

 

Also, in my expirience, a Zendo game is limited not so much by the number of players, but more by the availability of pieces.  More pieces mean more examples (and counter-examples) can remain on the table, aiding the student in her quest for "enlightenment".
