The verdict
A deep, bluff-heavy Witcher card game with great art and a fair free-to-play model, but it's abandoned. Expect a stale meta, a small playerbase and login or connection problems. Skip it if you want Witcher 3's minigame.
Great for
Witcher fans and strategy card players who like bluffing and deckbuilding without spending money
Main risk
Development has ended, so expect a small playerbase, login and server trouble, and veterans in a stale meta
What changed in the last 30 days
26 recent reviews
Recent negatives mention the game no longer connecting or being unsupported, connection drops, and a control/Megascope-dominated meta. Possibly tied to a recent launcher update, but the evidence is thin.
