Table game maker CMON, the makers of Zombicide: Undead or Alive and Masters of the Universe: The Board Game – Clash for Eterniahas launched a new Kickstarter campaign for its next project: a tabletop role-playing game set in the CD Projekt Red universe Cyberpunk 2077 and Mike Pondsmith’s dystopian tabletop RPG cyberpunk.
Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is a competitive board game in which up to four players take on the role of one of the game’s four street gangs – the Tyger Claws, the Valentinos, the Maelstrom, and the Voodoo Boys – fighting for dominance of the criminal underworld of the night city.
To achieve this, players can hire edgerunners (i.e. notable characters from Cyberpunk 2077 like Jackie Welles, Johnny Silverhand, and Judy Álvarez) to aid their gangs in securing territory, performing nethacks to secure information, garnering credibility on the street, and dominating their opponents.
CMON has a long history with crowdfunding and Kickstarter in particular. Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is the company’s 51st campaign on the platform, and by the time it’s over it will have raised more than $240,000 from over 3,000 backers – slightly exceeding its $100,000 crowdfunding goal.
The only pledge level for Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City costs $110 and is essentially the same as pre-ordering the game with Kickstarter-exclusive bonuses in the form of additional Edgerunner figures of characters like V, Emmerick Bronson, and Evelyn Parker. Orders of the game are expected to ship in July 2023.
