AWitcherfan has made their own custom Gwent board, complete with a hefty collection of physical cards to fill it out. First appearing inThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Gwent is the minigame that soared to intense popularity following the release of the 2015 game. Plenty ofGwent memesflooded the internet showing how Geralt was ignoring his quest to find Ciri in order to squeeze in a few more rounds of the card game, and plenty of players made it their mission to fill out their Gwent collection, complete with the game’s legendary cards.
Gwent proved to be so popular that CD Projekt Red made an online card game of the same name back in 2018.Gwent: The WitcherCard Gameis more complex than the minigame ofThe Witcher 3, as the latter could be cheesed fairly easily by spamming Spy cards that could fill one player’s hand at the sacrifice of some power. Thestandalone game still proves to be popular, with anew expansion releasing forGwentearlier this year.

Even with the standaloneGwentgame offering players a more competitive card-based experience, there’s still a lot of nostalgia for the minigame ofThe Witcher 3. One Reddit user, known as MrTenticlez, managed to purchase their own version of a Gwent board. There are three rows on each side of the board, for a player’s melee, ranged, and siege troops respectively. There are also slots for the player to put their deck, including troops that have been discarded or used in a previous round.
MrTenticlez completed the impressive look of their Gwent boards with the official, physical cards that CD Projekt Red have released in order to promote the card game. Alongside the officially created cards, fans have also made their own impressive versions ofGwentcards. Back in 2021, a fan showed off their recreation of theGeralt of Rivia legendaryGwentcard, giving the iconic Witcher a unique look.
While Gwent has only appeared in one mainlineWitchertitle, it has clearly made its mark on the franchise and its fanbase. Other minigames were available inThe WitcherandThe Witcher 2, but many prefer the simplistic card game compared to its competitors. Some are even hoping that Gwent can make a return in the upcomingremake of the originalWitchergame. Even if the minigame doesn’t appear again for some time, those who want to carry some of their favoriteWitchercharacters in card form can always turn toGwent: The Witcher Card Game.
The Witcher 3: The Wild Huntis available now for the PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are set to launch on Jun 13, 2025.
