11:59

What to Expect

You take on the role of a general on the brink of nuclear war. In real time, you simultaneously roll two dice to either collect diplomacy gems or eliminate your opponent's VIPs. Quick decisions determine if you reinforce your bunker, use propaganda, or launch nuclear missiles. The game ends when one side achieves their mission—military victory or diplomatic success.

Who Is This Game For?

11:59 is aimed at players aged 13 and up who enjoy quick, tactical two-player games. It is an expert-level microgame lasting about 5 minutes. Prior experience with real-time or push-your-luck mechanics is helpful but not required.

How It Works

Both players roll two dice simultaneously and continuously in real time. Dice results trigger actions such as earning diplomacy gems, strengthening the bunker, or loading and firing nuclear weapons. The push-your-luck element comes from rolling repeatedly until achieving your goal or losing to your opponent. Fast reflexes and tactical timing are key.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Chris Rossetti, 11:59 blends Dice Rolling and Push Your Luck mechanics into an intense real-time experience. It is a dedicated two-player game with a unique nuclear conflict theme. Despite its short duration, it creates a tense competitive atmosphere distinct from classic dice games.

Setting & Atmosphäre

The game is set amid the looming threat of nuclear war, where two generals battle in bunkers for supremacy. The world is defined by the countdown to doomsday and fragile diplomatic attempts.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Focus on quick decision-making and watch your opponent’s moves closely to adapt your strategy.
