You’re an elite (?) bomb squad and have just one minute to defuse a series of dangerous devices before everything goes… you know. Will this be your last minute? Last Minute is a solo/coop game that plays in real time. You have to play the right defuse cards on the appropriate bomb cards, respecting a double timer condition. A cool head, fine planning and (if you face the challenge with friends) good teamwork will be necessary to avoid an explosive defeat! —description from the publisher
Last Minute supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Last Minute is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Last Minute for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Last Minute has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
