NecroGenesis Kickstarter Launches in January 2026

We’re thrilled to share that NecroGenesis, our biopunk trading card game where mechanics serve the story, is heading to Kickstarter in January 2026. The pre-launch page is live now—tap “Notify me on launch” to be first in.

What’s in the campaign

At launch you’ll see a clear path from prototype to production, with pledge tiers for every kind of player:

NG-01: Outbreak — Core Set (First Edition)

Everything you need to play right away: a complete, playable experience with rules reference and quick-start support.

NG-01: Outbreak — Booster Packs

Expand and customize your decks with randomized card packs from the NG-01 wave. (Full pack breakdown & rarity details will be on the campaign page.)

Vega the Engineer — Starter Deck

A precision toolkit that leans into Tether link-chains, modular rigs, and board control through engineered synergies.

Knox the Scavenger — Starter Deck

A pressure deck that thrives on Decay, turning scrap and spent resources into sudden tempo spikes.

Duel Bundle (2-Player)

Both starters (Vega + Knox) plus a quick-start guide and table tokens—everything two players need to jump in.

Limited Edition Playmat

Premium (standard TCG size) and exclusive NG-01: Outbreak key art available as an add-on and in select pledge tiers.

Stretch goals (teasers)

All unlocks are added to every backer’s rewards.

  • $30K — Foiled Threat Tokens (4×) • Chrome-green, campaign-exclusive tokens for tracking Threat.
  • $50K — Boss Monster Foil Art Card • Cinematic alt-art, textless collectible (not in boosters).
  • $75K — Survivor Alt-Art Mini Pack (3) • Kickstarter-exclusive alts incl. Sarah & Rick; soft-touch finish.
  • $100K — Holo Zombie Kill Tally Tracker • Holo-foil keepsake with punch-out tallies; gritty post-apoc UI.
  • $150K — “Outbreak Gold” Promo • Outbreak Protocol event card with raised gold foil and campaign stamp.

Why Kickstarter?

Your pledges fund manufacturing, wider playtesting, and the last lap of UX polish: icon clarity for Tether/Decay, improved board-state hints, and accessibility passes. We’ll continue the closed-alpha cadence throughout the campaign so the community can feel improvements in real time.

Rules Focus: Quick Escape & React Windows

Quick Escape: once per Zombie Phase, spend 1 TP and roll a d6 vs the attacker’s ED—on success, negate that attack. Reacts fire in their timing windows; master TP to turn lethal turns into survive-and-strike-back.
