Thank you CDPR for Gwent
This is going to be a bit of a strange discussion board post, be forewarned.
I just wanted to write down and thank CDPR for this game, and explain a bit why it means so much to me in particular. I think maybe we can all post or whys on this thread..just a idea.
My love of card games goes back 25 plus years ( yes, I am ancient) I started playing Magic: The Gathering in a actual card shop. And no, I didn't ride a horse and buggy to my local store. Back then it was a social game where we would get together on weekends as a group and try out our new decks and ideas. We made friends and traded ideas. There were local and national tournaments I took part in as well. There was no " internet" to play across or take ideas from, it was all you and your friends. This was my first introduction to CCGs and I was in love.
Over the years, I have played MANY CCGS. They all have their pros and cons. I had never played a CCG online until Hearthstone. I was out of the game for a while, but I played WoW so I thought..oh yes! The game was great. Sure there were things that slowly crept in and took my enjoyment out of the game, but it relit my CCG fire. I tried almost every CCG I could find online looking for the love I had back in my Magic days.
Enter: Gwent! When I first played it at the starting Inn, I was not impressed, it APPEARED too simple for a experienced gamer such as I. Then, and I will never forget this, I found "Decoy"..Oh the possibilities..then "Muster"..my head was spinning. This was a truly strategic card duel utilizing cards as resources..I was in love. The more I played and delved into the world of the Witcher..I was more and more transfixed by this game. I would go to work and try to tell everyone I could see about it, most tried and loved it. I have two children 13 and 18..they both love the game. This message board and the people in it have been bouncing ideas and it feels like a weekend long ago. Thank you to the people of this board as well.. This game has become a part of my family, this game has reignited my mind ( my wife would say long dormant). For that and all the hard work you all at CDPR do..I say THANK YOU FOR GWENT.
