Welcome back, Choomba! Today we will explore Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City, a challenging board game inspired by CD PROJEKT RED’s iconic sci-fi role-playing game. This competitive title, designed for 1-4 players, transports participants into the vibrant and dangerous universe of Night City, where every choice can determine the survival or downfall of a gang. In this game, players take on the role of leader of one of the ruthless gangs that infest the city streets. Each gang has its own unique traits, abilities and strategies, and offers tactical depth that requires planning and cunning to prevail.
Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is a board game that bears the signature of the very Italian Andrea Chiarvesio, one of the most renowned game designers on the international scene. Chiarvesio collaborated with Eric M. Langanother giant of the world of board games, to bring to life this exciting adventure set in the dystopian universe of Cyberpunk 2077. It is not the first time that the two authors have worked together: they have already created global success Marvel United, demonstrating creative synergy and extraordinary talent in designing compelling and innovative games. In Gang of Night City, players can expect an intense and immersive competitive experience, where they take on the role of leaders of ruthless gangs battling for control of Night City. The combination of Chiarvesio and Lang’s visions promises to deliver strategic depth and an engaging narrative, making this game a must-have for fans of board games and the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
Cyberpunk 2077: Night City Gangs is a board game that offers a rich and complex gaming experience, as demonstrated by its content. Inside the box we find 46 miniatures, which include 9 units for each of the four gangs – Maelstrom, Tyger Claws, Valentinos and Voodoo Boys – plus 10 Edgerunners. The game also includes a game board, 4 gang boards, 131 cards, 12 plastic bases, 2 dice, 164 tokens and the rulebook, underlining the massive size and depth of the game.
During a game, the turn is divided into three main phases. In the first phase, players can choose between an action or a claim. The action allows you to move the miniatures through the different areas of Night City, but requires the use of action tokens, which cannot be used again until you perform a claim action. The latter restores some action tokens, allows you to obtain rewards from Districts and recruit new units. The second phase involves replenishing Opportunity and Edgerunner cards, if necessary.
Units Edgerunner they are unique and represent iconic characters from the game and the loreas Jackie Welles, Johnny Silverhand, and Goro Takemuraadding further depth and familiarity for fans of the franchise. The third and final phase consists in controlling the connections of History, verifying the developments and consequences of the actions undertaken. With such a complex and detailed design, Cyberpunk 2077: Gang of Night City offers a competitive and immersive gaming experience, which allows players to fully immerse themselves in the dystopian world of Night City.
The heart of the game lies in the players’ ability to recruit new members, each with specific skills that can be crucial to success, extend their hideouts and thus increase their reputationup to the elusive 25 points needed for one of the victory conditions (which can be much more than one, thanks to the missions history advanced). But having a powerful army is not enough: claiming and defending territory is fundamental. Each piece of Night City has its own strategic importance, and control of the most valuable areas can determine the outcome of the game.
But the challenges don’t end there. Players will also have to face the fearsome corporations that wield oppressive power over Night City. In various card-driven narrative scenarios, players will have to make difficult decisions, undertake dangerous missions and try to avoid traps set by their opponents. Each scenario offers new opportunities and dangers, keeping tension and suspense high throughout the game.
Ultimately, the real goal is to build your gang’s reputation. Only the player with the highest reputation, acquired through conquests, battles won and missions completed, will be able to emerge as the true ruler of Night City.
In conclusion, Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City offers a compelling and diverse gaming experience, placing players in the role of the leader of one of five asymmetrical gangs, each with a unique approach to gameplay and increasing reputation, the currency that makes up victory points in Night City. The more aggressive players will feel comfortable with the cybernetic Maelstroms, dedicated to fighting and conquering territories by force. The more subtle ones will instead prefer the low profile approach of the Voodoo Boys or the silence of the Valentinos. Cyberpunk Gangs of Night City is a solid and enjoyable game that mixes several board game genres with great theming. It definitely is a purchase suitable for everyone and everyone who loved Night City and they carry the Cyberpunk role-playing game in their hearts, although I can say that the game is so light and fun that it can be played by practically everyone.
Get busy, choomba. The city of dreams is waiting for you.
