Gwent is a card game made by CD Projekt Red based off the popular card game in the Witcher 3.
Due to Gwent currently being in closed beta, that means there are likely to be changes before the game is formally released. And best of all: The game's so entertaining, you don't have to be a Witcher fan to enjoy it.I was recently lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of Gwent while it is still in its closed beta. Developer CD Projekt Red is no doubt still tweaking the balance of the game, but thus far, playing for free is as easy as falling off a tavern bench. Along with that, a simple crafting mechanic lets you craft new cards from the shreds of old ones. Single-player challenges and Practice mode let you learn while you earn (in-game currency for buying more cards), or you can jump right into online-ranked or casual multiplayer. The graphics are nice (cards can be upgraded from still image to animation), the voice acting and sound are good, and the five current factions are interesting and varied enough to satisfy all kinds of fantasy generals. Each player is given only so many cards to last three rounds, and since ultimate victory means winning two rounds of three, it's important to play your cards with care. The point is to control the flow of battle, and that means sometimes it's better to pass rather than play. While you can still destroy enemy units, remembering that's not the point can be difficult at first. The idea in Gwent isn't to destroy your enemy it's to have more power on the board. It does a fair job of teaching new players what to do, but players used to the search-and-destroy method of winning could be confused by the additive approach. That said, it's already highly polished, aside from minute issues brought up by hardcore card players. As of this writing, Gwent is still in open beta and as such, is still a work in progress. This card game spin-off from a wildly popular franchise is a well-made strategy title that challenges your patience and planning skills.
