    I suck at Gwent, I'm really bad at it and don't really get it. But, because I love CDPR so much and genuinely think they have done great things for the gaming industry and it's fans, that I'll probably buy this game.

    Ha yeah! I'm sure you can buy card packs. I bought the physical Gwent deck from Blood and Wine code. 7 euro, Only came to 18 euro incl delivery. Feels like a steal.

    As for the game, as it's free to play, i guess you will be able to buy packs which means a ton of more individual cards. A linked mobile version would be great as well.

    Gameplay vid here. Also CDPR confirmed there will be server single player campaigns each about 10+ hours, where you go on a quest, can find secret areas, find cards and make decisons that have consequences. Therson who wrote The Bloody Baron quest is working on these as well so you know they'll be quality

    And the award for the most inevitable game ever goes to...

    Really glad this is happening, of all the really great things in The Witcher 3, Gwent was definitely one of them.

    Beta delayed until October 25 :(

    https://www.playgwent.com/en/news#2056
    Dear Gamers,

    At E3 we announced that we’d launch the Closed Beta of GWENT: The Witcher Card Game in September. Unfortunately, we feel we need some extra time with the game before we hand it off to you for testing. We know we can make a first impression only once, and want to be sure everything is ready before we blast off. Delivering a good game is more important to us than keeping a deadline. Still, that doesn’t mean we don’t realize that delays can be disappointing, and we apologize for making you wait. Closed Beta will now begin on October 25th.

    Love,
    The GWENT Team

    there is a kill the server stress test this Friday between 7pm and 11pm and then another on the 27th
    codes are not guaranteed and it does not get you into the beta

    It's now live. They've also removed the NDA so people can now stream and share everything from it.

    Had a few games there very impressed, you really have to watch what you are at and read the descriptions on even the common cards, like I played a 4 to the middle row as my opening move which was a waste has that card would have buffed another already on the board. Monster deck seems to be over powered a bit too.
