Note on cards that were missing in original game (Patch v1.08 and earlier): These are in fact available but have not been added to checklist. This is because they are not required for Achievement/Trophy. This list has been working for >5years and may have helped hundrends of thousands of achievement hunters, for now I've decided to leave the list as is, but may add them in for completeness in the future. These include but may not be limited to:
Albrich (2 of 2), Clear Weather (3 of 3), Torrential Rain (3 of 3), Ballista (2 of 2)
Special thanks to all who have e-mailed in with kind words and to provide feedback on the availability of these cards.

Join in The Witcher universe’s favorite card game! In GWENT, you clash with your friends in fast-paced duels that combine bluffing, on-the-fly decision making and careful deck construction. Apr 25, 2018 Learning to play a new game can be daunting. With different factions, rows, leaders and more, GWENT: The Witcher Card Game may seem a bit overwhelming at first glance. However, once you get past that initial feeling, you’re likely to find a game that is engaging, nuanced, and very different from others.

Gwent is a Witcher 3 mini game. It is a collectable card game similar to Magic: The Gathering. Players can win random cards by playing against merchants and inn keepers, win special cards in certain quests and by purchasing them from merchants.
For a full location guide see the interactive dashboard above.

A player must have a full deck consisting of a minimum of 22 unit cards and up to 10 special cards.
Unit cards can be chosen from 4 factions or neutral cards.
A player wins by getting the highest score in 2 out of 3 rounds.
A round is over when both players have passed or there are no more cards to play.
(Note: When a player passes no more cards can be played that round, but the opponent can keep playing cards until he/she passes or runs out of cards)
It's okay to lose a round and in fact it is highly recommended, see 'Top Tips' below:

  1. It's okay to lose a round. Lure your opponent to play his/her best cards early and keeping your best cards for later and leaving your opponent weakened in future round(s)
  2. Use spy cards early, especially when trying to lose the first round
  3. Early in your playthrough while you have a weaker deck, use the second Northern Realm General as this will clear all weather effects, but wait till the end of the gwent round to use it as you may end up clearing more than one weather effect card
  4. You must have at least 22 cards in your deck plus special cards. Keep your deck to the very best cards and stay with the 22 minimum plus a few special cards like Decoy and Commander's Horn. This will increase the chances of getting dealt the best cards
  5. Remove all weather cards from your deck, they are not that useful. Focus on Decoys, Commander's Horn, Cards that Double up and Cards that gives you extra cards like spies and medic
  6. Use Decoys on enemy spies. Yes you can take your opponents spy card and play it back at them!
  7. Buy all cards in the game and Play every merchant as they give out random cards when you win

Read the full changelog

It would seem like every popular game franchise receives a CCG spin off sooner or later, and the trend is on the rise. The genre is highly malleable and open to new interpretations, on the other hand, so there are always new ideas that can be introduced to keep the fans engaged. Unfortunately, not all developers strive to come up with new mechanics, so people are pretty skeptical regarding CCGs nowadays.

Five factions to choose from and many deck options to toy with

Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is CD PROJEKT’s attempt to expand the Witcher universe and provide the fans with a different spin on the story, while also trying not to dumb things down too much. Hence, it looks and smells like a classic CCG at first, but the gameplay is unique, and there’s a fair bit of strategy involved in every match. In fact, the mechanics are complex enough for the game to be played at a pro level. There are five factions to choose from, including the Scoia’tael, Skellige and the Nilfgaardian Empire, each one of which features unique cards with special abilities. Each match usually spans over multiple rounds, and it’s not necessary to win all of them in order to come out victorious. In fact, sometimes it’s wise to lose a round in order to gain the upper hand and win the match.

Three different lanes and card crafting

There are three lanes for each type of card, namely melee, ranged and siege. The actual goal is to reach the end of each round with more card points than your opponent, so it’s not always necessary to attack unless you need to reduce the opponent’s points while preserving your own. You can also create your own decks if you are not happy with the included ones, as well as craft new ones if you have enough resources. Speaking of which, in-app purchases are present in Gwent as well, but they do not affect the game in a negative fashion, so you do not need to worry about pay-to-win situations. Lastly, the artwork is about as gorgeous as you can expect from the creators of The Witcher, especially since some of the cards are animated. Every unit is gorgeous and a pleasure to look at, and the original voice actors are present here as well, which makes the game feel authentic.

A very promising alternative for CCG fans

Gwent card game physical

In the end, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game has all the right elements to keep you busy for a very long time, and this is barely the Open Beta version. Hence, the gameplay is complex and enjoyable, the cards come in huge numbers, and the graphics are top-notch as well.
