About this board game

Welcome to the enthralling world of The Witcher: Old World. This board game is set in a time before the saga of Geralt of Rivia, in a period when professional monster slayers had just begun to wander the world.

The game offers an immersive experience, set in the rich lore of The Witcher universe. The setting is a continent filled with diverse regions, each with its own unique set of challenges. From the icy tundras of the North to the sun-scorched deserts in the South, you will journey through dense forests, bustling cities, and treacherous mountains.

The core mechanics of the game are designed to fully engage players in the role of a Witcher. As a player, you will be tasked with fighting a wide array of monsters, improving your skills, and choosing which contracts to pursue.

  • Combat: The combat system in this game is dynamic and engaging. It is based on a deck-building mechanism, where you collect and upgrade your cards to enhance your fighting capabilities. The cards symbolize the combat techniques and magic signs known to Witchers.
  • Training: Players will also need to train and improve their skills. This is achieved by travelling to different Witcher schools scattered across the continent, each specializing in unique combat styles.
  • Contracts: The game is driven by monster contracts. You can choose to either cooperate with other players to take down more powerful beasts or compete against them to earn the title of the most renowned Witcher.

What truly makes this game unique is its intricate balance between cooperation and competition. Players must decide when it’s beneficial to team up with others and when it’s more advantageous to work alone. This combination of strategy, exploration, and moral choice makes The Witcher: Old World a captivating board game experience.

Whether you’re a fan of the Witcher series or simply love a good adventure, this game promises an exciting journey filled with thrilling battles, strategic decision-making, and a gripping narrative. So, grab your silver sword and get ready to step into the boots of a professional monster slayer in The Witcher: Old World.
