Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone

About this board game

Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone is a tabletop miniatures skirmish game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Set in 2045, during the reconstruction of Night City, it puts you in command of a gang fighting to control the devastated Combat Zone.

Massive megabuildings illuminate the skies above a recovering Corpo Plaza, while cyber-enhanced gangs battle in the shadows. Lead your crew through pitched battles or campaigns, equip your gang, hire mercenaries, and build your street cred as you fight to emerge as the new master of the streets.

Combat Zone uses Monster Fight Club’s [RE]ACtion system. Every character has their own skills, abilities, and actions, while actions come in three colors that correspond to different dice: a d6, d8, or d12. The color of the action a character takes determines which die they roll.

• Take actions with individual characters and try to activate other friendly characters.
• React to attacks by moving away or counterattacking.
• Manage wounded characters as their actions become worse.
• Fight for control as gameplay passes quickly back and forth between players.

The player currently taking actions with one of their characters controls the battle. Control changes when that active character runs out of actions, creating a fluid contest without getting bogged down in phases, upkeep, or accounting.

With its gang-focused progression, mercenary hiring, and fast-changing control of the battlefield, Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone brings the violent struggle for Night City’s streets to the tabletop.
