The 7 rarities, what a booster holds, the official pull rates and the count for every set
“The symbol defines a card’s rarity; how common the card is in its printed set.”
In the order the Comprehensive Rules list them, with the label the official card database uses and a link to every card printed at that rarity:
Symbol: An upward chevron over a downward one, making an open diamond.
In the card database: Rare
Browse Rare cards →Symbol: A split diamond with a small solid diamond inside.
In the card database: Epic
Browse Epic Rare cards →Symbol: The Epic Rare diamond between angled brackets.
In the card database: Secret
Browse Secret Rare cards →Symbol: A diamond with angled wings and spikes at the top and bottom.
In the card database: Iconic Legend, Iconic Other, Iconic Secret
Browse Iconic Rare cards →Symbol: A striped square around a solid centre square.
In the card database: Nova Rare
Browse Nova Rare cards →The official symbols are white. The rules give the rarities no colours and no abbreviations, so this guide doesn't either. The card database labels the three kinds of Iconic Rare separately (see Iconic Rares).
A rarity belongs to a printing, not to the card, and it never changes how the card plays. The same card can be printed at different rarities. Two examples from the official card database:
Every card page lists each of its printings with its rarity.
From Kickstarter Update #25, “Beta Set & Retail Set Card Count” (WeirdCo) (April 9, 2026):
“Each booster pack contains 12 cards, including:
- 7 Common cards
- 3 Uncommon cards
- 2 Rare+ cards (a mix of Rare, Epic Rare, Secret Rare, and Iconic Rare cards)”
“Each Beta (Kickstarter) booster display contains 36 booster packs, and each Retail booster display contains 24 booster packs.”
“Beta and Retail will otherwise have the same pack configuration outlined above, and the same chances of pulling a particular rarity.”
Nova Rare is not in boosters. It appears on promos, pre-release kit cards, event prizes and box toppers, in both foil and non-foil.
The official odds, also from Update #25:
- “Rare cards appear more than once per pack.”
- “Epic Rare cards appear in around one in four packs.”
- “Iconic Rare cards appear in around one in 18 packs.”
- “Secret Rare cards appear in around one in 24 packs.”
These odds are approximate, and they are per rarity, not per card: WeirdCo publishes no odds for any single card, and none for box toppers. They were published on Kickstarter before the Retail release, and cyberpunktcg.com doesn't repeat them.
Worked out from those odds, an average box holds:
| Box | Packs | Epic Rares | Iconic Rares | Secret Rares |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retail box | 24 | 6 | about 1.3 | 1 |
| Beta box | 36 | 9 | 2 | 1.5 |
This is our arithmetic (packs in the box divided by the odds), not an official figure. They are averages over many boxes, not what any one box guarantees.
From Update #25:
“Iconic Rares are foiled, alternate art cards.”
“There will be 62 total Iconic Rares for Welcome to Night City — 31 in Beta and 31 in Retail.”
It names three kinds:
- “Core Iconic Rare — Alternate artwork versions of Units, Programs, and Gear”
- “Legend Iconic Rare — Alternate artwork versions of Legends”
- “Secret Iconic Rare — Alternate artwork versions of the four Secret Rare cards”
The card database lists them as Iconic Other (Core), Iconic Legend (Legend) and Iconic Secret (Secret).
And from the Official Cyberpunk TCG blog (October 2, 2026):
“On Iconics, names are cold foiled in Silver.”
Current printings of each rarity in each set, counted from our copy of the official card database when this page was built. Iconic Rare adds up the database's three Iconic labels.
