- hand management — Players draw cards into their hand and must discard down to five at the end of their turn.
- set collection — Players can gain blurp for controlling spaces with specific structures like factories at the end of the game.

Quotes (from this video)
- hi and welcome to watch it played my name is Rodney Smith and in this video we're going to learn the two to four player game neon God's designed by Isaac Vega and published by Platt hat games
- in neon gods you'll be leading your gang as you take over empty neighborhoods set up your businesses and take areas from rival gangs all in an effort to have the most blurp by the end of the game which as we all know is the 2009 way of measuring your reputation
- the player with the most blurp wins in the case of a tie the tied player with the most money wins if there's still a tie the tied players break the tie with a staring contest
