GWENT: The Witcher Card Game

I'm surprised why Gwent has 3,6 stars only. May be someboody doesn't like but I think Homecoming is a rght decision. After removing one row, cards became bigger, and I realy love how they looks like. Gwent is a nice card collection game. I want to look on cards. I want to play them. Also this opens way to tablet's Gwent. May be not all new things in Homecoming are best. The game lost a bit in dinamic. But in general it is a big step forward. And last addon - Crimson Curse are awesome:)!

Unlike in MTG or Hearthstone, the winner of the game is not the one who gets the opponent’s “hero” to zero health, but it’s the player who wins 2 out of 3 rounds with the most points on the board. There are 5 factions, each with several 3D animated leaders, and each leader has unique abilities to influence “the battle”. Each card has a provision cost, and to make a valid deck you need at least 25 cards and a maximum number of provisions. In the end, the deck consistency is pretty high so the RNG is not crazy as it is in other games. For experienced players, a game takes about 10-15 minutes. The starting decks are pretty trash, but so far Gwent is the most F2P friendly game out there. Slowly but surely the game is losing its generosity but it is still in a very good place right now. All the cards also have premium versions, which are animated. The (overall) art style is good but I would still like to see a lot of cards reworked, sometimes the animated versions don’t really bring much. The lore for the game is the Witcher universe, Witcher 3 in particular. You will see a lot of characters from the game. Out of the CCGs that I played, I liked Gwent best (so far). The low RNG, deck building, lore, development, and gameplay, really appealed to me. Not to mention that Witcher 3 left me with an itch to scratch.

play OP decks or lose, no fun allowed

Gwent was awesome in beta. My favorite card game of all time. I am very unhappy with how it is right now! My biggest problem are how they changed the leaders into stupid animated characters on the board. I hate the watered down leader abilities and that you can use them every round, it's just not exciting anymore as the game feels more casual and less strategic

I write this review after seen the low overall rating of the game in the store. I just didn't get it, then I noticed that most negative comments are about the changes during beta/realease. I did not play the beta, but man I've played the final version at let me tell you, it is simply amazing. Really nice learning curve for new players as well as pretty generous rate of collecting cards. The is also a in game deck builder guide so getting started is easier than ever (there is also a new expansion comming soon). Finally the community and dev team are amazing and super friendly. This is by far the best card game I've ever tried.
