I skipped it in my first run too. Then I started playing it in the following runs and I love it. I actually got pretty good at it and my only complaint is that there are no other NPC great players after the quest related. All remaining opponents in the game are weak. I also want GOG Galaxy to acknowledge my achievement as I won a round with 201 strength and it didn't give me the achievement!!! Gwent is very fun and addictive once we get it. Need better NPC opponents though. =)
I bailed on it. I feel too restless in my first playthrough, rather be out exploring and killing shit.
^This. It took a while to get to like it, but then, I couldn't stay away.
I don't care for it as I suck at card games, or any other game that relies heavily on random chance..But as far as collecting cards...Well, that's a different story altogether!
First play-through I skipped gwent. As soon as I started playing gwent on my 2nd play-through I felt like an idiot for not playing it earlier. Then later on in the game I found out that gwent actually led to a few quests.
Its simple. If you skip gwent you'll miss out on part of the story and a couple good quests.

Hear hear, Witcher 1's boxing was much better, not a stupid quick time event
Witcher 2 fist fighting was terrible. But W1's was clunky as hell, easily cheesable. And those long unskippable win animations, oh god.
While I think Gwent is probably the best mini game in RPG history, it's still partially annoying. Yet, the surrounding quests are pretty good!

Also, the stated topic of this thread is the discussion of Gwent, not boxing.

Its so easy to skip gwent cause its early in the game and all you wanna do is to get out there and explore, but after a few matches you know how it works and its fun. Sometimes I start the wild hunt just to play a couple games of gwent.
I just wish I could abolish the spy-ability

I touched on Gwent for a quick minute a week or two back. I don't care for cards in real life...heck, my wife laughed at me early in our relationship when I showed her I could barely cut a deck of cards. 
Maybe next playthrough I'll kick it around a bit more but enjoying too many other elements of the game now to care for cards.
