Hachette Boardgames UK returned to UK Games Expo this year with an all-star line-up of titles spanning heavyweight strategy, family-friendly co-ops, and fast-paced two-player duels. Headlining the stand was Gwent: The Witcher Card Game – making its long-awaited debut in physical form.
Originally a cult favourite mini-game in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Gwent has now been fully realised as a standalone tabletop experience. Featuring all five factions and every single card from the digital version, it finally invites fans to ask that age-old question: “Fancy a round of Gwent?”
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 steps 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: The Legendary Card Game, 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”
In Gwent: The Legendary Card Game, 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.
Gwent is available for pre-order now.
