[SYS.LOG // DISPATCH FROM SPRATLING COURT]

Night City has officially landed in the South East. Sealed stock is unpacked, our Manston tables are set up for weekly Thursday play, and local players have had their first taste of combat.

The delivery boxes arrived outside Spratling Court in typical British fashion: streaked with drizzle, but dry and pristine inside. Unpacking that first wave of yellow displays marked months of anticipation for CD PROJEKT RED's new card game.

Between running our sold-out Beta tournament and sorting booster stock, the response from trading card players across Thanet, Ramsgate, and Margate has been fantastic. Here is the full breakdown of how our first tournament ran, what sealed product is sitting on our shelves right now, and how you can join our weekly Thursday brawls.

Inside the Beta Event: Friday 11 September

On Friday 11 September, we hosted our official Cyberpunk TCG Beta Event in Manston. Every table ticket had been claimed days in advance, bringing together players from Magic, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! alongside local hobbyists stepping into a card tournament for the very first time.

Cyberpunk TCG Beta Event Kits stacked ready for players at Ravenspire Games

Each participant received an official Beta Event Kit containing six booster packs and stamped Legend cards. To make the evening accessible for everyone cracking packs for the first time, we ran a relaxed sealed format.

Instead of imposing rigid constructed RAM caps right away, players built 30-card sealed decks around three chosen Legends. This kept the focus where it mattered: learning how to generate Eurodollars (Eddies), testing Unit combat, and rolling Gig dice to establish board presence.

Matches were paired as single-game rounds rather than lengthy best-of-three sets. This format kept the evening moving quickly, giving everyone the opportunity to play against four different opponents and see a broad mix of deck styles in action.

That easy-going tempo reflects what Ravenspire is all about: a welcoming, supportive space where you can sit down, learn a new system without tournament pressure, and feel right at home. Seeing players trade cards and compare faction mechanics between rounds made for a brilliant opening night.

Cyberpunk TCG Welcome To Night City Beta Pre-Release Kit

Beta Pre-Release Kits Sold Out

Following high demand across Kent during event registration, the limited-edition Welcome to Night City Beta Pre-Release Kits (£30.00) are now officially sold out.

Players looking to expand their card pools can still acquire sealed Welcome to Night City booster packs, which contain 12 cards per pack: seven commons, three uncommons, and two rare-or-better slots.

How the Game Plays: Rules & Mechanics

If you are accustomed to Magic: The Gathering or Pokémon, Cyberpunk TCG introduces distinct mechanics that give it a unique tabletop identity:

Core Resource

Eurodollars (Eddies)

Unlike traditional land bases, currency is generated by selling cards from hand or spending your Legends. Careful economy management determines how many Units and cyberware attachments you can deploy each round.

Objective System

Gig Dice & Street Cred

Six polyhedral dice represent Gigs across Night City. Successful runs earn you Gig dice, and your Street Cred is calculated as the sum of their faces. Securing and holding seven Gig dice at the start of your turn wins the game.

Constructed deck building requires three uniquely named Legends and 40 to 50 non-Legend cards, with a maximum of three copies of any single card. Rather than paying mana costs, each Legend provides a specific colour RAM ceiling, creating an engaging puzzle when selecting high-tier characters and equipment.

Cyber Thursdays: Night City Brawls (18:30 to 22:00)

Following the success of our Beta night, we have added dedicated table space for the community. Every Thursday evening from 18:30 to 22:00 is officially Cyber Thursday at Ravenspire Games.

Frequently Asked Questions

Details on stock availability, tournament legality, and game nights at our Manston store.

When does Ravenspire host Cyberpunk TCG events?

We run Cyber Thursdays every Thursday evening from 18:30 to 22:00 at our store in Manston, Kent. Casual open play and deck tuning run through October, with official prize support beginning on 12 November.

Do I need to own cards before coming to a Cyber Thursday session?

No. Pre-constructed starter decks are available in the shop for £30.00, and our team or local players will happily walk you through an introductory game.

What is the difference between The Heist and Embracing Power starter decks?

The Heist focuses on fast-paced mercenary combat and direct attacks, while Embracing Power centres around the Arasaka Corporation, using tactical blockers, resource control, and board denial.

Are Cyberpunk TCG Beta edition cards tournament legal?

Yes. Beta prints feature a stamped Beta symbol but share the same card mechanics, rules text, and card backs as standard retail cards, making them fully tournament legal.
