SECTOR 12

Sector 12 is a positional tactical combat duel for two players where reality collapses and there is only room for one consciousness. It is a minimalist survival battle on a 12x12 grid where you must eliminate your opponent or be erased by the system.

You are standing before a fragment of solid reality floating in a sea of absolute nothingness. To an outside observer, it is a perfect 12x12 grid; to you, it is a suffocating minimalist environment where the air tastes like metal and the floor vibrates at a frequency that rattles your teeth. Here, physics does not support you: it tolerates you.

The fabric of Sector 12 has a finite processing capacity and cannot sustain the biological complexity of two human beings simultaneously. When two people enter, reality enters a state of crisis. You will feel the other's heartbeat in your own ears; you will smell their fear. There is only room for one consciousness. If you do not eliminate the opponent's signature, the system will simply stop attempting to process both of you. Death here is not the end; it is de-indexing: ceasing to have been someone, ever.

Kill them. They are the only obstacle between your life and absolute oblivion.

OPERATIONAL SUMMARY

• Genre: Positional tactical combat for 2 players.
• Objective: Eliminate the opponent before the purge erases you both.
• Victory Condition: The game ends immediately when a player reaches 0 HP.
• Core Mechanic: A battle of prediction and resource management based on "Destiny Rolls" (3d6).

REQUIRED RESOURCES (Physical)

To execute this simulation in the real world, you will need:

• Dice: At least 2d12 (for starting coordinates) and 3d6 (action points per turn).
• Tokens: Two pieces or miniatures to represent the characters on the map.
• Markers: To signal the location of 4 Monoliths, 3 Health Kits, and 2 Weapons on the grid.

SYSTEM THREATS

• Monoliths: Debugging subroutines that emit correction pulses. Being in their Alert Zone (the 8 surrounding squares) causes skin to blister and eyes to bleed as the system attempts to erase the anomaly you represent.
• Phase Interference: The system registers the presence of the other as an unbearable noise that blurs your vision and causes your muscles to tear.
• Death by Inactivity: If the system detects you remain static for two turns, the monoliths will detect you and you will die automatically, regardless of distance. There is no room for cowards in Sector 12.

Author's Note: Welcome to Sector 12!

Hi there! I'm Fabian. I designed this game because I love tactical challenges where one wrong move wipes you off the map. Sector 12 is my take on minimalist "tactical horror": tight rules, high tension, and fast-paced matches where every decision carries weight.

I hope you enjoy (and suffer a bit) while trying to survive de-indexing.

What do you need to play?

Since this is a Print & Play, the game comes to life with whatever you have at hand. To keep the game flowing, I recommend putting together your kit with:

• Your characters: Use any two figures or tokens you like (miniatures from other games, coins, or even bottle caps).
• Monoliths: These are the board's automatic "villains." Use 4 objects that stand out so you don't forget their 8-square "death zones".
• Supplies: You'll need markers for the 2 Weapons and 3 Health Kits.
• Dice (Key): Don't forget your 2d12 to set the starting coordinates and 3d6 for your action points.

To make sure you don't have to look for anything else—and if you're lucky enough to have a 3D printer at home—I've designed exclusive STL tokens for the Monoliths and Health Kits specifically for this game.

Note: This is just a visual suggestion. In the end, Sector 12 is your territory. You can use miniatures from other games, colored dice, nuts and bolts, or whatever you have nearby to represent the tactical carnage.

Thank you for downloading the game and giving it a shot! If you enjoy the experience, any financial contribution is more than welcome to help me keep creating more madness like this.
