Yesterday I set up another 2'x2' board to continue re-learning Pulp City . This time is was a 9-level villain vs. villain showdown. I had found my Warhammer cemetery scenery during my hobby cleanup this month and thought it would look good on one of the urban mats Mantic produced years back for Mars Attacks. After my first refresher game I have been collecting the various dice and tokens needed to play the game.
