Card Drives is a solitaire cyberpunk TTRPG where you play an endless series of hackers wielding a cyberdeck: a powerful computer console full of card drives. This cyberdeck is represented by a deck of playing cards you will mod and trash and draw on as you play the game. Each modded card becomes more powerful, giving you more access to powerful programs (poker hands) you use to exploit nodes and explore the net. -description from the designer
Card Drives has 2 videos from 2 creators: 1 how-to-play guide and 1 playthrough. They date from December 2025.
To learn the rules, start with "Card Drives Demo Playthrough - Single Player Cyberpunk Rogue - Like Deck Building TTRPG" by Not Writing Games, which runs 32 min.
To see it played, watch "Card Drives PnP TTRPG Cyberpunk card game" by Out of the Box [Board Games].
If you like it, try Escape the Kronos, also by Michael Elliott, or Warp's Edge, Conservas and Dragons of Etchinstone, which share several of its mechanics.
