Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- Really cool theme and art
- Legend system is elegant and simplifies gameplay while adding variability
- Unique dice system with design possibilities
- Accessible for new and experienced players
- High enjoyment even when losing
- Thematic connection between deck types (Heist vs. Corporate) and street cred
- Rewarded extra combat power without being overly complex
- Glossary and rule explanation sheet is helpful
Cons
- Graphic design elements like the 'Eddie' symbol are small
- Card types (Programs, Gears, Units) are difficult to differentiate visually
- High randomness can be uncomfortable for some players
- Some card effects rely on specific dice rolls (e.g., d20 for killing units) which can feel like a coin flip
- Can't check face-down legends
- Dice randomness is minimized in current decks, but can still feel repetitive
Thematic elements
- Corporation versus criminal underworld
- Night City
Comparison games
- Magic
- Hearthstone
- Star Wars Unlimited
- Netrunner
- Magic the Gathering
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — Players draw cards each turn, and legends are revealed randomly, impacting gameplay.
- Deckbuilding — Players build decks and bring three legends that start face down, adding a layer of uncertainty and strategic choice.
- Dice Rolling — Gig dice are rolled each turn, contributing to a 'street cred' total and potentially triggering card effects. The d20 is only rolled at the end of the game.
- Resource Management — Cards can be 'eddied' to become resources, and dice rolls contribute to a 'street cred' resource.
- Set Collection — The goal is to acquire seven gig dice, with the ability to steal dice from opponents.
- Variable player powers — Legends have abilities that activate during the game, influencing strategy and game states.

Quotes (from this video)
- As the designer said, there's no happy endings in Night City.
- The game's not better than Magic. But I think this game's not really trying to compete with Magic that hard.
- The game, even as the pilot of your deck, you're not really supposed to be fully in control.
- I think at the end of this year, our 1 v one game at Gen Con will be one of my favorite experiences of board gaming.
- We think this game is really cool. We think it has a lot of heart.
- This is the most funded TCG of all time on Kickstarter.
- The goal of the game is is uh to get seven gig dice, which are really that's a really interesting win condition.
- And unlike uh magic or Hearthstone, you can't attack your opponent directly. You can't kill them.
- Because as the designer said, there's no happy endings in Night City.
- This art is awesome. Like I really feel like I'm I'm really engaged with all the cards.
- The wording is all really good. Like nothing is ever confusing.
- The legend system is really elegant.
- The dice system is really unique.
- The heist deck wants to roll the d4 first, of course, they cuz they want the number to be as low as possible.
- It feels like to steal a gig dice. But also, once you tap your unit, you spend it, it's susceptible to removal, as in your opponent plays a card to kill it, which are more common removal, or you just attack it.
- I think this game's not really trying to compete with Magic that hard.
- It's great. Both both decks great.
- I really like that. It also feels very thematically appropriate to Cyberpunk.
- The more I think about it, okay, maybe it's not that good, but it's an endgame card cuz you only have your d20 in late game
- You You have to make the best of what you got, which is very cyberpunk.
- I think this game is really accessible.
- It's it's if you played any trading card game, you can just get right into this.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, as you can see way far down there, it keeps going and going on forever.
- All the new Arkham Horror scenario being played. Very nice. Very nice.
- People also just sitting around resting. It is Sunday so less people are in here.
- So, yeah, this is like the Asthma area as you can see from the little Asay hidden room there. Uh, people are playing games. That's all that's happening in here pretty much.
- Look at this stuff. Going to walk down this little this little row here. No one's around, so I can kind of get close up to some of these terrain setups that look better than anything I could ever put together.
- The con closes in like 2 and 1 half hours. So there's less people in here right now.
- So, pro tip, uh that that one was given to me by Janet uh shout out to Janet uh from our community for passing that one on to us a few years back.
- It's one of those things. Sometimes it happens at the con where like Thursday and Friday, no one cares about a certain game or a certain publisher and then by the end word gets out and then everyone needs to try it before they leave.
- So they did not sell as many as they thought, but I've never seen giant pallets of games in the exhibit hall just sitting on the floor before.
- The Emperor's Promise.
- It's like a tradition to see that here at the con. I don't know how old that thing is, but when I see them lugging CRT monitors, I kind of think it's old. But uh still here. People still come and do it.

Quotes (from this video)
- Thank you from everyone who has to pronounce the name of this game multiple times.
- The real takeaway here is that Recall provides lots of opportunities to craft compelling combos, and also watch out for Tuesdays.
- Now, I really like Rebirth, but this game sold out long but it sold out long before I was able to find my own copy of it.
- And it's just too many castles, so stop being wasteful everybody and enjoy your 12 castles like Norman over there, who you don't see complaining about his number of castles because Norman Norman gets it. Norman understands the plastic castle economy in Rebirth.
- Viewer Urs Poe suggested the category of, quote, 'Games that cause the most grief.' Oh boy, here we go.
- Well, nothing turns friends into former friends like 1959's malevolent masterpiece, Diplomacy.
- He wrote that line, too.
- Should the casino go next to the swimming pool? Or do you think the alien abduction site should go next to the retirement home? What would the mayor think?

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Board state and economy — Multiple zones (gig dice area, legend area, Eddies area, playfield); cards move between zones; some cards enable selling or converting cards into resources.
- Card types and interactions — Legends (leaders), Units (crew), Gear (equipment), Programs (one-time effects); gear attaches to units; programs resolve immediately.
- Combat and keywords — Units attack individually; power determines outcomes; blockers can redirect; ties destroy both; go solo allows legends to act as units.
- Deck Building — 40-50 card deck with no more than three copies of any card; three legends with unique names; RAM and color-identity gating the build.
- Deck-building constraints — 40-50 card deck with no more than three copies of any card; three legends with unique names; RAM and color-identity gating the build.
- Gig dice system — Players start with standard polyhedral dice, roll a die each turn (except the d20 must be last), and the total is added to street cred, driving certain card interactions.
- Gigs and victory — Gigs are the victory/resource mechanism; win by running rivals out of gigs, depleting their deck, or other gig-based conditions; seven gigs in a turn can auto-win; ongoing fatigue may lead to overtime.
- Multi-Use Cards — Legends (leaders), Units (crew), Gear (equipment), Programs (one-time effects); gear attaches to units; programs resolve immediately.
- Phases and actions — Phase progression includes ready, play, and attack; actions include selling for eddies, flipping legends, go solo, and resolving programs.
- RAM and color identity — RAM values limit what cards can be played; legends determine the deck's color identity (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green).
- Resource Management — Eddies are spent to pay costs; legends can be spent as eddies; face-down legends can be revealed as eddies or used as resources; face-up legends with a cell tag can also be used too.
- Resource system (Eddies) — Eddies are spent to pay costs; legends can be spent as eddies; face-down legends can be revealed as eddies or used as resources; face-up legends with a cell tag can also be used too.
- Variable Phase Order — Phase progression includes ready, play, and attack; actions include selling for eddies, flipping legends, go solo, and resolving programs.
