The Forum is full of this Request... like 100000 times. Why open a new thread every hour?
I'd love to have a fully fledged Gwent-Game IRL or just standalone, but as we all strive for advancement in an RPG, Gwent is hilariously imbalanced.
Heroes aint even the most imbalanced cards(though 15 STR is absurd), I've had a good run with a northern deck chock full of Spies, decoys and healers- More cards wins most of the time.
Due to the lack of a minor ressource like Mana in other games, the poor fucking infantry is in fact the most poor and fucked up card as it is as easily dealt out as any much stronger card.
Thus, a standalone version would have to introduce some limiting ressource. The game as it is now, is funny and gives steady progress with winning new and awesome cards but its just that- some cards are so much more equal than others.

It would certainly require some balancing because like you said, spy cards are overpowered . But other than that I would much rather get into competitive Gwent than Hearthstone. It could even be freemium, although that kinda goes against CDPR's mission and ideology
My only worry is that Gwent will be a pay2win sort of game. After all, it's not all about skills. It's more about who has the better deck.
Online Function for Gwent Card Game Will Be Awesome
I know The witcher is a pure offline game, but having a MP function for gwent will be amazing. With online tournaments etc.
What do you think?

?This would be great! I hope the devs are paying attention to this.
Well you wouldn't want to do it in-game, it would probably work best as a browser game. It would be too much pointless work to have them add multiplayer connectivity to the engine just for gwent, that they could be using for other things. But yeah, I would love to play gwent against other people. Throw some webdev intern the job of making a gwent applet that just loads in the gwent card graphics and rules already made by the art team and such with a ui designed to match the in-game appearance, then provide the lobby/matchmaking system from some pre-built framework (of which there are many to choose). Much better distribution of labor, then you don't need the engine programmers spending time on it.
I normally do not buy CE so I would be interested with the physical version of Gwent Card too, it is a really cool game hope that in the future they put them in some kind of merchandising store.
Keep an eye on The Witcher Merchandise Store. https://www.witcherstore.com/
Currently they don't have Gwentcards to offer, but they might get added in the near future. The mini-game has gained a lo9t of popularity among players, so it it is likely.
