About the game
This is a supplement for the Doom Pilgrim and Doom Pilgrim Pocket card game, compatible also with all its current and future expansions. Black Bag brings 192 random events on mini-cards that are going to be drawn randomly from the included bag. Cards are double sided, text only. Illustrations are in the enclosed booklet which describes how to use these cards. The booklet also contains rules on how to use dice if you want to add them to your Doom Pilgrim (or Doom Pilgrim Pocket) adventure. We call this novelty the "DOOM PILGRIM Dice System". Dice you would need are also included. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Doom Pilgrim: Black Bag 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 Doom Pilgrim: Black Bag is 5–120 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 Doom Pilgrim: Black Bag for ages 18 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.
Doom Pilgrim: Black Bag belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fantasy, and Horror. Its main mechanics are Paper-and-Pencil, Role Playing, and Drawing. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Doom Pilgrim: Black Bag are: Waclaw Traier. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Doom Pilgrim: Black Bag as an expansion for Doom Pilgrim. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Doom Pilgrim to use it. Check that your edition of Doom Pilgrim is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
