A clear look at what the Families and Outcasts expansion brings to the Cyberpunk 2077 board game: new gangs, the Badlands setting, and how it changes play.
Quick answer
The Families and Outcasts expansion adds new gang options and a Badlands setting to the Cyberpunk 2077 board game. It is a content expansion, not a standalone game, so you need the base game to play.
Who this expansion is for
This expansion suits players who already own the Cyberpunk 2077 board game and want more variety in factions and environments. If you are new to the game, start with the base set first—this box assumes you have the core rules and components.
What is not included
The expansion does not include the base game, so you cannot play it on its own. Also, the catalog does not list specific miniature counts or rulebook details, so check the box contents if you need exact component numbers before buying.
