Description

Celebrate 10 years of legendary strategy with the official physical edition of Gwent: The Legendary Card Game — faithfully recreated in collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED. A game originally designed by Rafał Jaki and Damien Monnier.

Inspired by the iconic mini-game from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, this premium boxed set brings the beloved digital experience to the tabletop, offering high-stakes battles of wit, power, and cunning between five iconic factions:
⚔️ Northern Realms
🌿 Scoia’tael
👹 Monsters
💀 Skellige
🕵️ Nilfgaard

With its easy-to-learn, hard-to-master ruleset, Gwent is accessible for newcomers yet rich in tactical depth for seasoned strategists. Build your deck, pick your moment to pass, and outmanoeuvre your opponent to secure victory over two out of three rounds. 

How It Works:
Players choose a faction.
Each turn, play one card to the battlefield or pass.
The player with the highest total Strength at the end of a round wins it.
Lose a round, lose a gem. Lose all your gems, and it’s game over.
