Physical Gwent Cards Appreciaton Thread
Hello CDPR,
I know that as a non xbox collectors edition purchaser, in the past i've been pretty vocal questioning how xbox users ended up with physical gwent cards and the rest of us didn't while hearing claims of platform equality.. Well, I just purchased the physical edition of hearts of stone today and wanted to give a heartfelt thankyou for allowing the rest of us to get some.
The (outside of) box is beautifully made, so are the cards, and its very nice. I really hope -all- of us can get a chance to purchase the remaining to decks with the second expansion, i certainly will again.
Given the complete deck is so huge it should be interesting on what turns out to be the most fun way to play in real life.. perhaps thinking through some good decks based on gameplay, then with a coin toss deciding which deck a player gets, or if 2 people both know about gwent allowing creation of our own decks before starting might be fun.
Anyways, sincere and huge thanks again. What happened with the collectors edition is still a little unfortunate, but i just wanted to say how much i appreciate being able to get the cards with HoS. You're not all bad CDPR
EDIT: It looks like the gwent decks are the actual decks from the game, so they will play differently just like the game. This is going to be a challenge showing non witcher 3 players how to play.. and it makes sense (as they said) why there's no standalone digital game.. you pretty much have to have played witcher 3 to be any good at it.
Perhaps how to do it would be to split each deck into each of the categories, prune out the crap cards, and just let people pick a fixed but random number of each category.. with both players having the same ratio of utility/special/normal etc. Not sure actually because in game i've only used northern realms, the other decks may work differently.
