From the world of Night City to the tabletop, two beloved characters are being translated into the language of strategy and sacrifice. WeirdCo's Cyberpunk Trading Card Game, drawing from both anime and RPG lore, has revealed Jackie Welles and Judy Alvarez as Legend cards — each one a meditation on how power is never truly free. Their abilities mirror their narrative souls: one defined by protection at personal cost, the other by knowledge constrained by commitment.
