About the game
You are security experts trying to get a job at a bank. To do this, you must prove that the current security system is not sufficient. How? By robbing the bank. You have forty minutes to unlock doors, deactivate security systems, and find out the combination to the vault. The bank is well-protected, though, and you had better not encounter the guard or trigger the alarm. Der Millionen Coup is a cooperative game with a real-time engine. Every action takes time, and players can perform only one action at a time. The game is split into two phases: preparation for the coup and the coup itself. During preparation, players can explore the bank, learn additional skills, and forge one of the available plans. Players freely decide when to switch to the coup phase and carry out their plans. You have only forty minutes total for both phases, so plan carefully! Der Millionen Coup includes 32 scenarios and 12 bank plans, so the next coup won't be the same as the last...
