Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is a free-to-play card game that puts you, not your cards, in the center of the action.

In Gwent, gamers clash with their friends in fast-paced duels that combine bluffing, on-the-fly decision making and careful deck construction.

Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is played over a best-of-three series of rounds, as players unleash their hand by slinging spells and diverse units with special abilities and use clever tricks to deceive their opponents.

The season’s grand finale tournament played out over the course of Saturday and Sunday, December 4th-5th.

Streamed live on Twitch in its entirety, it saw 8 of the best Gwent players from around the world competing in high-stakes battles for a share of the $71,000 prize pool and the title of Gwent World Champion.
