A hands-on preview of the unreleased Cyberpunk 2077 TCG by WeirdCo highlights fast, 20-minute matches built around 40–50 card decks (no more than three copies of a card) and three Legends.

Resources (eddies) and selling unused cards add depth, while artwork pulls from CD Projekt Red’s Night City vault and color-codes decks by skill trees. The reviewer praises the streamlined text, sharp visuals, and tournament-friendly structure, and plans to dive back in when the game launches later this year.

The Pokémon Company says it has printed over 85 billion Pokémon cards since 1996, with more than 10% of that total produced in the last year alone, but demand still outpaces supply.
