There’s only one GWENT®, but there are several factions you can choose to command. The proud Skellige, brutal Monsters, cunning Northern Realms, or shadowy Scoia’tael -- each offering a different playstyle which you can adjust to your liking via friendly deckbuilder and elegant card-crafting mechanics. Play for fun with friends or enter ranked battles in pursuit of fame and glory! With additional cards and factions like the powerful Nilfgaard coming in the future, GWENT is endless fun!
GWENT® is as much a battle of force, as it is a battle of wits. We’ll always try to match you up with a player whose cards are of similar strength to yours.
To win, play it smart and lure your opponent into using up their cards first. Alternatively sacrifice one round and take the game by emerging victorious in the next one.
Brought to you by the creators of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the single player campaign of GWENT® thrusts players into an event-rich world they can roam freely. To be released in episodes, the story unfolding in the campaign will feature the choice and consequence mechanic the Witcher games are known for.
In GWENT® you will command one of four unique factions. Adjust their signature playstyle to your liking via friendly deckbuilder and card-crafting mechanics. Play for fun with friends or enter ranked battles in pursuit of fame and glory!
While offering some serious, mind-bending tactical possibilities, GWENT® remains a game you can learn to play in less than 15 minutes. There’s a friendly tutorial built right into the client, but if you’re here, it means you want to know the gist of it now, right?
It contains three rows: Melee, Ranged, and Siege. You’ll populate each of these rows by placing cards with a different combat value.
Each card has a combat value, a row designation (Melee, Ranged, or Siege), and some of them also have an ability. Playing cards doesn’t cost you any resources and every turn players must place a card on the board, or pass. Bear in mind that in GWENT® you don’t draw additional cards during the game unless you have cards or abilities which allow you to do so. This makes every card in your hand very valuable. The same rules apply to your opponent.
You’re winning as long as your total score is higher than your opponent’s. The trick to winning a match lies in thoughtfully gathering points and manipulating their count through different combos.
Either charge through the match winning two games in a row, or deliberately lose one game in order to emerge victorious in the next. Seems easy, right? Apply for the Closed BETA, fire up the tutorial and see for yourself!
GWENT is all about accumulating more points than your opponent. Use cunning and deception to garner more points and emerge victorious in this best-of-three game.
