Description

--- "The Witcher: Old World" is a competitive deck-building adventure board game set in the Witcher universe, where players as witchers hunt monsters and collect trophies. Key mechanics include: - *Deck-building* Players construct unique decks using attacks, dodges, signs, and school-specific abilities for powerful combos. - *Exploration and quests* Players travel a vast map, undertake quests with moral choices, and resolve them for rewards. - *Combat systems* Engage in monster fights, tavern brawls against other witchers, and dice poker to earn money, items, and skills. - *Trophy victory* First to 4-6 trophies (from monster kills, brawl wins, maxed attributes, or quests) wins instantly. - *School specialization* Leverage hallmark abilities from one of five witcher schools. - *Solo mode* Supports solitaire play. The Witcher: Old World is a 2-5 player competitive adventure board game immersing players as witchers from five schools in a pre-Geralt era of rampant monsters on the Continent. Players travel a vast map, embark on quests with ambiguous moral choices, fight monsters, and brawl rivals to defend school honor. They build personalized decks from attacks, dodges, and signs for synergistic combos exploiting school traits, while quests, battles, and dice poker yield money, items, and skill training. Victory comes instantly to the first collecting 4-6 trophies via monster slaying, winning tavern brawls, maxing attributes, or quest resolutions; a solo mode enables solitary adventures. ---
