Pulp Leagues

Pulp Leagues supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.

The catalogue lists Pulp Leagues for ages 12 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.

Pulp Leagues belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Horror, and Adventure. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Simulation. 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 Pulp Leagues are: David Phipps and Mila Phipps. 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 Pulp Leagues as an expansion for Pulp Alley. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Pulp Alley to use it. Check that your edition of Pulp Alley is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
