The Cold War 1946-1991
A strategic historical game
"2 Minutes to Midnight is an easy to learn (but not easy strategy), highly thematic game with a tension you might not expect. Put together, 2 Minutes to Midnight delivers an easy to learn but tense game of deep decisions using history you know, but not as you know it."
- Rocky Mountain Navy
WeGo - low/no downtime - turn order is not fixed.
Asymmetric sides - USSR & USA have different
strengths & weaknesses.
Plausible Sandbox - very high replay value.

A crunchy cold war game to get your teeth into!
