Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is a digital collectible card game initially made available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It was later released on Android and macOS. The game is based on the card game of the same name from the video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Unlike other games in the same genre, the game boasts of a progression system where building a collection of cards is more of a pleasure instead of pressure. All players need to do is collect new cards and then build decks. While in other games there’s a high element of luck, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is more focused on skill. Players can beat opponents using clever tricks to outsmart them or just go for brute strength.
You can get the game through Steam here.
