About the game
60 Second City is a real-time cooperative strategy game that tests your ability to work under pressure. You and your partner have just 60 seconds per round to build a sustainable city, placing tiles simultaneously on the board. The challenge? Complete construction goals while preventing pollution from ruining your plans. Five rounds of pure adrenaline where clear communication and quick thinking are essential. The game blends puzzle elements (with Pattern Building mechanics) and real-time action for a unique experience. Despite simple rules (weight 1.15/5 on BGG), the strategy is deep: every tile placed could mean victory or defeat. Perfect for fans of fast-paced games that require partner synergy – and don’t mind yelling 'PUT IT IN THE CORNER!' as the clock ticks down.
