The mini-game in W3 was fun, the beta was great, and although there was some chaos after the infamous midwinter update, the devs have learned a lot from their mistakes and released Homecoming. Sure, some aspects are different from the "original" Gwent... but come on, the game we have now is a foundation 10 times better than beta ever was. The new provision system allows for a fine tuning raw points never could, and deckbuilding is now a core part of the experience. The games are as strategic as ever, but much less autopilot than during beta. They had a very good game back then, and they decided to change it... into THE best card game I ever played. Props to CDPR !
