“From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent” Sir Winston Churchill.

At the end of 1945, the world rejoiced at the end of World War II. The American and Soviet armies, at first so eager to meet, now eyed each other warily from opposite sides of the border.

The lines had been drawn and any pretense of post-war cooperation faded to be replaced by mutual distrust.

While the United States possessed the Atomic Bomb, the Soviet Union was scrambling to balance the scales, by whatever means.

This is where the game begins and you take charge.

2 Minutes to Midnight is a historical simulation game that recreates the 50 years of the Cold War in games from 1 hour to 7 hours in the longest scenario, for 1 or 2 players.

Players will face each other through the historical challenges presented by the events, while managing to extend the influence of their superpower on the world map.

Spies, coups, technological development, civil wars, invasions, economic investments, everything will be valid in the process of extending the influence of your block and, thus, win the game.

The task of the American player is to paint the world red, white and blue, to ensure that Europe remains free and to spread democracy in all corners of the world, but especially in places with abundant oil and important economies.

As a Soviet, you must either win the Cold War or hang on to power long enough as the USSR unravels in reforms. Although it was likely that it would eventually fall, it might have been avoided had Gorbachev not run the country.
