One game I played with a guy who had a shit-ton of spy cards. seems to let you win by making decisions that ultimately hurt them more than help them. Unfortunately, if I had to say anything bad about Gwent it's that the A.I. For example, my current leader card allows me to double the strength of my siege unit cards, which, considering how many siege cards I have, can, and usually is, the wining move. Other than the basics of the cards, you've also got a leader card that gives you a special perk. They are who you send in when you're down 15 points and have to make back the difference before you lose. But the hero card, as depicted by Witcher 3's main cast of characters, and some important supporting characters, are the muscle. But the reality is I have better more reliable cards. I would say that Hero Cards are the Bread N Butter for your deck, only because by this point I have, I think, all of them. Actually now that I think about it, these cards are being manufactured and sold somewhere in the world of The Witcher, so does Geralt have to license out his likeness to companies, and so does he get paid? Does the world of The Witcher have "copyright infringement"? Deep questions. ![]() But these cards work in a pinch when your opponent uses spy cards, which means next round you get to summon them and a bunch of other cards! Hero cards, cards that are immune to any effects or other cards, and also are super beastly. It's important to note that nothing works on Hero Cards, which means you can't lose your hero and then immediately summon them back again. Medic cards, for when dramatic entries are your specialtyĮasily my favorite cards in the game, and that says a lot because I only have 2 of them, the medic cards! Once placed, you can summon a card from your discard pile. So while the game may be as simple as "Have more points than your opponent" the strategies in which you can do is staggering. So they can place a spy card on your side of the field, the round ends, then you can summon that card with the help of a medic card. You keep your cards, there's no risk of losing your stuff, but what I mean is, they stay in that players discard pile. The interesting thing about these cards is once placed on either side of the field, the cards will stay with that player until the game is over. Once summoned, spy cards are placed on the enemies side of the field, and then you draw two cards.

You lose a life gem(and the round) when your opponent has a higher number value than you do. The round system is set to a "2 out of 3" win system, as you have two life gems. This can help you weed out the chuff and get better cards in your hand. The rules of Gwent are simple: At the start of the round you draw 10 cards, but then must redraw 2 cards by choosing which 2 cards get sent back to your deck. And any former 10 year old out there can tell you, that's some intense shit. Like, 10-year-old-just-discovered-Yu-Gi-Oh love. The funniest thing about Gwent, easily the funniest thing about my entire 50000 hour long playthrough of Witcher 3, is that when I did finally sit down and try to get into Gwent, I fell in love. But I decided to just get down to the nitty gritty and simply stab dudes with my sword. In fact, there is a casino you go to for a quest that allows you, as far as I'm aware, to earn a ton of money by beating the patrons. ![]() I missed out on bonus objectives for quests, I missed out on rare exclusive cards from characters that would either go on to die or just leave all together. I avoided every instance of playing Gwent because that's not why I was there. I just wanted to get in and stab some monsters with my sword.Īnd I did that. It was such a huge game and the hype surrounding it was going off the charts, I didn't care about some stupid little card game. Simply have more points than your opponent over 2 rounds and you will win.īut, I mean, I didn't care. The tutorial for it was simple enough, it's a game where each card has a number value and when you play that card, that number is applied to your points. ![]() Everything except this stupid little card game I played in a tavern right near the beginning of the game. The world, the characters, the presentation. When I got my hands on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I was immediately gripped by it.
