About this expansion

The Witcher: Old World – Monster Trail is an expansion for 1–5 players, with a play time of approximately 150 minutes. It deepens the hunt for monsters with new abilities, attacks, cards, and strategic decisions.

Monster Trail introduces 17 large monster cards, featuring one card for each of the Old World beasts. Each card provides an advanced special ability and four special attacks tied directly to the monster’s characteristics in the Witcher’s world.

When a monster appears on the board, its large card is placed beside the board where everyone can see it. Before the fight begins, players shuffle 2, 3, or 4 of the expansion’s 4 Special Combat Cards into the monster’s Life Pool, depending on the monster’s level.

  • A playable School of the Manticore Witcher
  • Advanced action cards for your Witcher
  • 17 large monster cards with special abilities and attacks
  • 4 Special Combat Cards that make each encounter less predictable
  • New opportunities to use bombs, mutagens, deck-building, and combos

Special Combat Cards also introduce Passive Attacks. When a monster discards one of these cards because of damage, its passive attack activates automatically, adding another consequence to combat decisions.

Because the available special attacks and their order can change from one battle to the next, fighting the same monster is never quite the same experience. In The Witcher: Old World – Monster Trail, careful choices matter both while trailing a monster and during the fight itself.
