The Cyberpunk Trading Card Game has crossed $18.3 million on Kickstarter with one week left on the clock, and the question now is whether WeirdCo's debut game can reach $20 million before pledges close on April 17.
That $18.3 million figure, raised from over 28,000 backers, makes the Cyberpunk TCG the most funded tabletop game in Kickstarter history by a comfortable margin. It overtook the previous record holder, the Cosmere RPG from Brotherwise Games, which closed at $15.1 million last year. With an average pledge of roughly $647 per backer, this campaign is attracting committed collectors, not just curious clickers.
WeirdCo, the studio behind the game, was founded by Elliot Cook and Luohan Wei, whose team includes veterans from Marvel Snap (the hit mobile card game) and Duel Masters. Players draft iconic characters like Johnny Silverhand and V into decks built around Night City's factions, with a RAM resource system that caps how much firepower you can pack in. But WeirdCo's pitch went beyond gameplay. The Cyberpunk TCG's Kickstarter was designed as an anti-scalper distribution model, delivering cards directly to backers and giving retailers proof-of-demand data rather than letting secondary market resellers set the price. That message resonated, and the campaign hit its $100,000 goal in five minutes flat.
The campaign has also revealed a competitive play roadmap running from local game store nights all the way up to a Cyberpunk TCG World Championship. Organised play infrastructure is often what separates a flash-in-the-pan TCG from one with staying power.
Kickstarter campaigns typically see a significant surge in their final 48 hours as reminder emails go out and fence-sitters commit. If the Cyberpunk TCG follows that pattern, $20 million is well within reach. Whether the game can sustain that momentum beyond the crowdfunding hype and carve out shelf space alongside Pokémon, Magic, and Lorcana is the longer question. For now, Night City is doing just fine.
