Welcome to Novigrad!

[Dominika]

Novigrad – GWENT’s second expansion, is now available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One! This update introduces a new faction to the game – Syndicate, with 5 new leaders and over 90 new cards, as well as various UI improvements and game fixes.

Full list of changes is available here.

The music makes me want to sit in the main menu doing nothing.

That's odd -- it makes me want to visit Gildorf, or Hierarch Square. Still a nice tune, of course.

To play gwent instead of GWENT?

To play gwent instead of GWENT?

It's a thought, but I fancy a bit of sight-seeking -- perhaps even some roof-climbing. . .

perhaps even some roof-climbing. . .

Always a good choice! It's tricky to get up there, but all too easy to get down...

Playing cards is definitely safer even though it does offer fewer sights.

And, on a different note, who is this woman?

 

[Kargadum]

I do not know, but I want her as a poster !

That possibility hadn't occurred to me. Interesting suggestion.

And, on a different note, who is this woman?

Maybe it's the city of Novigrad personified as a woman. Probably not, but for some reason that was the first thought that popped in my head when I saw the picture.

Full marks for originality, mate.

Taking this a bit (okay, a lot) further: the art reminds me of The Corpse of Novigrad, a snippet of a book found in The Witcher 3.

Love the new expansion. It feels like chess now, where i think of future turns and calculate if its worth it. Unlike scoiatel, where i simply dump my removal cards down each turn and win because my opponent does not get any synergie.

I think other factions could need something like that as well. Like Monsters: collecting blood via bleeding and using crimson curse at X stacks. Or monsters/sc seducing human units for X turns, and then eating them or using call of the forest on them before they go back to the enemy row. Some decks are just too simple at the moment.

I am about to uninstall this game for good. This new exp killed it. It's so unbalanced it's actually unplayable. All cards from the new fractions are OP AF, Gudrun is basically a leader you can't lose with and playing with anything other than Syndicate is auto lose.

I managed to beat Gudrun in seasonal, even without drawing Zoltan.

Seasonal has different mechanics, I play ladder.
