How to play Cyberpunk TCG
There are no life points here. You run a crew in Night City and you fight over Gigs, the jobs, which are dice on the table. Each player uses six of them (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20). The basics, from the official gameplay guide:
- Three face-down Legends. Every deck is built around 3 Legends with different names, which start face-down in a random order. Once per turn you pay 1 €$ to flip one without looking first. Face-up or face-down, they can also pay 1 €$.
- Eddies from selling cards. Your money comes from your hand. Once per turn you sell a card with the €$ symbol and it stays face-down as one Eddie. Choosing what to sell and what to play is half the game.
- One Gig per turn. At the start of your turn you pick a die from the fixer area, roll it and move it to your Gig area. The d20 always comes last. The total of your dice is your Street Cred, which some cards need to switch on.
- Attack to steal dice. Your Units fight a spent rival Unit (higher power wins) or go straight for your Rival's Gig area to steal a die. At 10 power or more they take an extra one.
- How you win. Start your turn with 7 Gigs. If nobody gets there, Overtime begins after the last player's seventh turn and whoever holds 7 wins on the spot. Running out of cards to draw also loses you the game.
There are four card types. Legends are the characters leading your crew; Units are the ones who fight and steal Gigs; Programs are one-shot effects, and Gear gets equipped to a Unit or a Legend. A deck has 40 to 50 cards plus your 3 Legends, with no more than 3 copies of any card.
The rule that shapes decks the most is RAM. Every colored card has a RAM value, and it can't go over the RAM of that color your three Legends add up to. If you want a color's most powerful cards, you need more Legends of that color. That's why Legends are the first thing people check when opening packs, even if they only collect.
What's in Set 1: 172 cards across four colors
Numbering follows color, so the set list reads itself: red 001 to 035, yellow 036 to 070, green 071 to 105 and blue 106 to 140. Each color opens with its five Legends. By type, the 140 base cards are 69 Units, 34 Programs, 20 Legends and 17 Gear.
| Rarity | Cards | What's there |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 60 | The bulk of each color's Units, Programs and Gear. |
| Uncommon | 32 | Supporting characters from the game, like Viktor Vektor or T-Bug, and Gear such as the Sandevistan. |
| Rare | 32 + 1 | Most of the Legends. V Streetkid appears twice under number 005: 005a and 005b. |
| Epic | 12 | Adam Smasher Ender of Legends, Panam Palmer Nomad Cavalry, Judy Álvarez Braindance Maestro, The Relic… |
| Secret | 4 | Johnny Silverhand, Panam Palmer, Sasha Yakovleva and Judy Álvarez. |
| Iconic Legend | 18 | 141 to 158. Every Legend except the two that are already Secrets. |
| Iconic Other | 9 | 159 to 167. Versions of Units, Gear and one Program at Rare or Epic rarity. |
| Iconic Secret | 4 | 168 to 171. The four Secrets, once more. |
The V detail is a nice touch. In Cyberpunk 2077 you choose whether V is a man or a woman, and the set follows suit: 005a shows male V and 005b female V, with the same text and the same artist (Olgierd Ciszak). If you're completing the set, count both.
The Legends: Night City's headliners
Twenty Legends, five per color, and nearly all of them are named characters from the video game. Here are eight, with at least one from each color. Adam Smasher, Panam Palmer and Judy Álvarez are Epics; the rest are Rares. Click any card to see it full size.

The 4 Secrets and the Epics people will be watching
Secret is the highest rarity among the base cards and there are only four: two Legends (Johnny Silverhand and Sasha Yakovleva) and two Units (Panam Palmer and Judy Álvarez). All four also get an Iconic Secret version.
A name for artist collectors: Ilya Kuvshinov drew the Panam (085) and Judy (116) Secrets, plus Jackie Welles Ride or Die Choom (048), an Epic. If you like his style, those three are your cards in this set.
Two of the Epics in the gallery are by Dardo Studios: V Roamer of the Badlands (020) and The Relic (063), the biochip the whole Cyberpunk 2077 story revolves around.

The 31 Iconics: the set's alternate art
Iconics are versions of cards from the set with different artwork, numbered separately from 141 to 171. There are three kinds:
- Iconic Legend (18, 141 to 158). One for every Legend in the set, except Johnny Silverhand Rocking Renegade and Sasha Yakovleva, which go up to Iconic Secret. They're by Pandart Studio; in the official database, Wakako Okada's is still listed without an artist.
- Iconic Other (9, 159 to 167). Units, Gear and one Program: Johnny Silverhand Never Stop Fighting, Adam Smasher Metal Over Meat, Alt Cunningham Mother of Daemons, Hanako Arasaka In a Gilded Cage, The Relic, Sandayu Oda, Overwatch, Rogue Queen of the Afterlife and Towerfall. Each one has a different artist from its Beta version.
- Iconic Secret (4, 168 to 171). The four Secrets with art by Divebound.
If I had to pick one card from the set, it would be the Johnny Silverhand Rocking Renegade Iconic Secret (168). Johnny is the face of Cyberpunk 2077, he's a Legend (so the card also gets played) and this is his highest version in the set. Judy Álvarez Nothing to Doubt (171) comes right after, especially for people coming from the video game.

The box: 24 packs of 12 cards
Booster Display (box)
Set Booster (pack)
According to Weird Co.'s official renders, the retail box holds 24 Set Boosters and each pack has 12 cards: 288 cards per box. The packaging carries a 17+ age rating.
What Weird Co. hasn't published is how many cards of each rarity a pack contains or how often an Iconic shows up, so you won't find pull rates here. We'll add them once there's official data.
The official database also lists six Nova Rares as retail Box Toppers (Yorinobu Arasaka, Viktor Vektor, Goro Takemura, Saburo Arasaka, V and Jackie Welles). It doesn't say how they're distributed, so don't count on one in every box.
Retail or Kickstarter Beta: what changes
Welcome to Night City first came out on Kickstarter as a Beta edition, with shipping to backers scheduled from the third quarter of 2026. Retail is the edition that goes to stores. Comparing both in the official database:
| Retail | Beta (Kickstarter) | |
|---|---|---|
| Packs per box | 24 | 36 |
| Numbering | 001 to 171 | β001 to β171, with the Beta symbol |
| Set list | 172 cards | The same 172 and the same rarities |
| Iconic Legends and Iconic Secrets | Pandart Studio and Divebound | Same artists |
| Iconic Others | 9 cards | All 9 by a different artist |
The official FAQ puts it simply: Kickstarter products carry a Beta symbol and art variants exclusive to the Beta. In practice, the Iconic Others are where you notice it most. Hanako Arasaka In a Gilded Cage (162) is the clearest example, by Akram in retail and by Dardo Studios in the Beta:
Iconic OtherHanako ArasakaIn a Gilded Cage · Unit162 · Akram
Iconic OtherHanako ArasakaIn a Gilded Cage · Unitβ162 · Dardo Studios
Hanako Arasaka In a Gilded Cage: retail 162 (Akram) and Beta β162 (Dardo Studios)
If someone offers you a single, check the number at the bottom left. A β in front means it's from the Beta.
Riftbound, the League of Legends TCG, also grew out of a video game. It started with Riftbound Origins and is already on its fifth set. Another game starting from scratch is Bandai's NARUTO CARD GAME.
