Description
--- **Gwent: The Legendary Card Game** is a strategic tabletop card game inspired by The Witcher 3 mini-game, letting players experience the Witcher universe through faction-based deck-building and tactical battles. Key mechanics include: - *Faction deck-building* Players construct decks from Northern Realms, Scoia'tael, Monsters, Skellige, or Nilfgaard, each with unique cards and abilities. - *Multi-row battlefield* Units and special ability cards are deployed across rows for combat. - *Best-of-three rounds* Victory requires winning two out of three rounds. - *Bluffing and resource management* Players read opponents, manage resources, and decide between aggressive pushes or conservative play. - *Strategic depth* Involves skillful reading of moves to outmaneuver foes in short or prolonged games. Gwent: The Legendary Card Game is the official physical tabletop adaptation of the iconic mini-game from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, immersing players in the Witcher universe via strategic, faction-based card battles between two competitors. Participants build decks from distinct factions—Northern Realms, Scoia'tael, Monsters, Skellige, and Nilfgaard—each offering specialized cards and abilities. The core objective is to secure victory by winning two of three rounds on a multi-row battlefield, where units and special cards are deployed strategically. Success demands masterful bluffing, precise resource allocation, opponent analysis, and judicious timing: opting to aggressively dominate a round or conservatively position for extended play. ---
