Before Silverhand blew up Arasaka Tower and Rache Bartmoss destroyed the internet, Night City still had Legends. It's your turn to make your mark in the world of Cyberpunk. Here’s what we’ve got for you. A campaign based, narrative driven co-op card game that you can learn and set up within minutes of opening the box. You’ll get storytelling, character progression, puzzles, meaningful choices… And of course you’ll also get to smash, blast and charm your way to becoming a Legend. Play as a team against a central scenario deck that will guide you through the story and give you the opportunity to carve your own path through Night City. When you come up against an obstacle, that’s when the real fun begins. As a group, you’re going to try to create a cooperative poker hand, one with all sorts of twists. But when the bullets are flying, communication isn’t always perfect, so you’ll have to find clever ways around the tabletalk rules to make your plans come together. If that doesn’t leave Trauma Team scraping you off the pavement, you’ll be customizing your character, crafting your deck, and making choices that will haunt you for scenarios to come… See you in Night City, choom. —description from the publisher
Cyberpunk Legends supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Cyberpunk Legends is 90–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Cyberpunk Legends for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Cyberpunk Legends has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
