Cyberpunk TCG

What to know before you open a box: how Beta and Retail differ, what the hits look like, and the four cards at the very top, the Iconic Secret Rares. No prices here.

Beta vs Retail

Same 140 playable cards, same pack, same odds per pack. Three things differ.

Beta

36packs a box

  • Kickstarter only, sent to backers in August 2026
  • A Beta symbol on every card, and a β in the card number (β168)
  • Its own pictures on the 31 Iconics
Retail

24packs a box

  • In stores since Nov 6, 2026
  • No Beta symbol, plain card numbers (168)
  • Its own pictures on the 31 Iconics

Only the Iconics look different. A Beta Iconic never comes out of a Retail pack. Two examples, Beta on the left, Retail on the right. Tap a card to see it big.

The Iconics

The hits to look for: 31 special pictures of cards from the set, with a raised texture. About 2 in a Beta box, 1.3 in a Retail box. The four rarest are in the next section.

Box topper · 1 in every box

One of these six, outside the packs. A sealed case of 6 boxes has one of each.

In an average boxBetaRetail

Averages, not guarantees. WeirdCo published the rates per rarity. How the Iconics split into tiers is Roffletown Cards' estimate (an Iconic Legend 3 times harder than a plain Iconic, an Iconic Secret 3 times harder again), the same one Rip or Hold and Hit Odds use.

Cards you can't pull

Only a few cards are kept out of booster packs.

Embracing Power starter deck

The Heist starter deck

Each starter deck has 5 cards of its own: its 3 Legends and 2 Units. The six Legends are also the box toppers, in a different look.
