Basically, the minimum is a Switch Unit (which comes with 2 JoyCons), and an extra controller set.
Each controller set comes with 2 JoyCons, which can be used as a single controller (when paired with the Unit or a cradle)/held apart for one player, or used as 2 separate little teeny controllers for most of the 4 player games.
JoyCon sets are like $80 too so most people just buy an extra pair to go with the pair that comes with the system and leave it at that. You could in-theory buy 3 extra sets and everyone gets full controllers but kids have tiny hands anyway.
