About the Game

Pulp City is a blockbuster miniature skirmish game set in the 80s, in a fictional town called Pulp City. The vibrant setting draws inspiration from comic books, pulp books and all sorts of nostalgic sentiments while using a very modern and fast gameplay mechanics.

After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2014, Pulp City: The Supreme Edition upgraded the game experience even more.

- Choose your team from 100+ unique Supremes (characters), there is very few restrictions standing in the way of building the team you love, - Recruit spandex vigilantes, aliens, robots, undead or dozens of other unlikely heroes and villains, - Test them in a Plot & Agenda driven games!

Pulp City uses a couple of unique mechanics that make the games blockbuster:

- Roles: A lot like in the video games, each Supreme covers one (or more) battlefield role: from crucial Supports through Leaders, Blasters, Brawlers, Tanks and Infiltrators to mighty Powerhouses. Right composition of the team is the key to winning the games.

- Action Points management - a team shares the pool but the pool is rebuild each round based on the number of surviving Supremes and modified through presence of Support characters,

- Supremes stack dice thanks to the simple system of combat bonuses - winning the Opposed Roll is just a first step, the more high rolls you have, the more FX (think Special Effects in the movies) you cause. From simple extra Damage to hurling your opponent 15 inches back through the battlefield.

- Smart cards system: front of a card is used to recruit a Supreme, back is used during the game and has all of the information requiered - so you will never have to flip the rulebook.

Quickstart rules are available as a free download (http://pulp-city.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/QSGQRS_digitallyreadable.pdf), each miniature comes with a card that has all of the gameplay information (online store has all cards as pdfs for you to try out for free).
