Care for a round of Gwent?
After a decade in the making, the iconic card game from The Witcher universe is finally coming to tabletops. 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 quickly captured the hearts of millions. Since then, The Witcher has expanded into a hit Netflix series, while Gwent itself has evolved into standalone digital adaptations, including its own mobile app.
Now, for the first time, Gwent is stepping into the physical realm. With the full backing of CD Projekt Red and the official Witcher license, this 1v1 duel game delivers an authentic experience. Boasting over 400 cards faithfully reproducing the iconic designs from The Witcher 3 and a playmat, Gwent is ready to transform any surface into a battleground.
In Gwent, two players build decks from various factions, each with its own unique set of cards and abilities. 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 and special ability cards to battle it out. 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?
