In The Witcher: Old World, you become a witcher - a professional monster slayer - and immerse yourself in the legendary universe of The Witcher franchise. I'm a big fan, so the IP is right up my alley. However, if you're not familiar with The Witcher, have no fear! It's such an easy game to fall into with no previous knowledge.
In this competitive adventure board game, 2-5 players travel across a vast map, embarking on masterfully penned quests, encountering and making ambiguous moral choices, fighting monsters - and sometimes brawling with other witchers to defend their school's honor!
The game lets players construct their own unique decks of cards by choosing from a wide range of abilities: attacks, dodges, and witcher combat magic - known as "signs". Through card synergy, players aim to achieve powerful combos as they utilize their witcher school's hallmark abilities to their full potential. Quests, battles, and even dice poker allow each player to earn money, obtain new items, and train their skills.
The first player to acquire 4-6 trophies, with the number being set at the start of play, wins the game instantly. You can obtain trophies by killing monsters, instigating and winning chaotic tavern brawls against another witcher, training attributes to their highest level, and resolving certain quests throughout their adventure.
The game will include a Solo Mode that will allow for a solitaire adventure on the Continent, which I find wholly engaging.
I'll let you know what I think about the system and what makes it so easy and fun to play in this video.
