The trading card game market is filling up fast, with tenured games like Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon Trading Card Game being joined by Disney Lorcana, One Piece Trading Card Game, and Riftbound: The League Of Legends Trading Card Game in recent years. Today, tabletop game company WeirdCo launched a Kickstarter campaign for Cyberpunk TCG, a new game featuring the world and characters of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk universe, and the project has blown through all set milestones in a matter of minutes.
As of this writing, the campaign–which began at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET today–has raised over $3.6 million and counting, crushing WeirdCo’s initial goal of $100,000. This figure has also eclipsed five of the 11 initial stretch goals included in the campaign’s launch, with the highest goal set at the $5 million mark.
Per the game’s official website, Cyberpunk TCG pits players against one another in an attempt to collect Gigs, which are indicated by special dice that enter the playing field each turn. Cards featuring many notable characters from Cyberpunk 2077–including V, Panam, Goro Takemura, and more–are used to attack other players, defend against attacks, and earn the Gigs needed to secure victory.
