Description

In The Witcher: Old World, you become a witcher, a professional monster slayer, and immerse yourself in the legendary universe of The Witcher franchise. The game is set years before the saga of Geralt of Rivia, where monsters roamed the Continent in greater numbers, and expertly trained monster slayers were in high demand. As a witcher, you'll travel across a vast map, embarking on quests, making moral choices, and fighting monsters. With 1 to 5 players, you'll construct your own unique deck of cards, choosing from a range of abilities, and aim to achieve powerful combos. You'll earn money, obtain new items, and train your skills through quests, battles, and dice poker. The goal is to acquire 4-6 trophies, which can be obtained by killing monsters, winning tavern brawls, or resolving quests. The game also features a Solo Mode for a solitaire adventure on the Continent, offering a unique experience for players to enjoy.
