Move over Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Gwent. There's a new hit trading card game in town, full of cybernetic enhancements, leather jackets, and anti-corpo sentiments. The Official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game has arrived, and it is making waves on Kickstarter.
At the time of writing, the total raised by 9021 backers is £5,631,512, which is sure to increase exponentially by the time you're reading this, as when we caught wind of this campaign via Eurogamer, the total was sitting at a comfortable £2,000,000+. Considering the goal for the Kickstarter was a comparatively measly £74,856, it's safe to say that we're likely going to see this project come to life.
