Minutes to Midnight: The Board Game

Minutes to Midnight: The Board Game is a negotiation game for two to six players. Each player takes on the role of an evil mega-corporation with a secret plan to destroy to world (and one back-up plan). Each player additionally starts with one billion dollars in seed money and six pawns to place in areas of vital influence: Technology, Agriculture, Weapon production, and more. Use your pawns to collect resources in these industries, or move them up through voting to the higher layers of power, eventually entering the secret Inner Circle and gaining access to forbidden technologies. Once in the Inner Circle, you can activate and reveal your Master Plan to try to end the world! However, the other players get two turns to try and undo your plan. Seems straightforward, but everyone else is trying to do the same thing, with different hidden plans. Rise quickly and unleash your plan first to end the world. —description from the designer
