First introduced in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt —a video game that has sold over 50 million copies and ranks among the top 10 games of all time—Gwent is stepping into the physical realm. With the full backing of CD Projekt Red and the official Witcher license, this dueling card game for 1-5 players delivers an authentic experience. Boasting over 400 cards faithfully reproducing the iconic designs from The Witcher 3. A playmat is included with the base game, however Gwent can easily transform any surface into a battleground. In Gwent, two players build decks from various factions, such as Northern Realms, Scoia'tael, Monsters, Skellige and Nilfgaard each with its own unique set of cards and abilities. Each faction features a recommended starting deck, but players can start building their own deck once they feel comfortable! The goal of the game is to win two out of three rounds. The battlefield features multiple rows to which players will deploy their units - Melee, Ranged and the ever destructive catapult! Plus special ability cards can boost your faction or help eliminate your opponent's numbers. Gwent is known for its deep strategic elements, including bluffing, careful resource management, and reading the opponent’s moves. Players must choose when to push aggressively to win a round or when to hold back and play for the long game. With unprecedented levels of demand, this stunning reproduction is a must-have for Witcher fans and card game enthusiasts alike! So, should we lay ’em down? Show more
