In The Witcher: Old World, you become a witcher—a professional monster slayer—and dive headfirst into the iconic Witcher universe. The story unfolds years before Geralt of Rivia's saga, in a time when the Continent was even more infested with dangerous creatures. To combat this constant threat, five rival schools trained their apprentices through brutal regimes, turning them into witchers ready to explore the land, hunt monsters, complete quests, and, of course, earn some coin. This is a competitive adventure board game for 2 to 5 players, where you'll travel across a vast map, embark on masterfully written quests, make tough moral choices, fight monsters, and even brawl with other witchers to defend your school's honor. The game allows each player to construct their own unique card deck, choosing from a wide range of attacks, dodges, and the famous 'signs' (witcher combat magic). The goal is to achieve powerful combos, leveraging your witcher school's hallmark abilities to their full potential. Quests, battles, and even a good old game of dice poker are ways to earn money, acquire new items, and train your skills. The first witcher to collect 4 to 6 trophies (the number is set at the start of the game) wins instantly! You can obtain trophies by killing monsters, instigating and winning chaotic tavern brawls against another witcher, training attributes to their highest level, or resolving certain quests throughout your adventure. And for those who enjoy a solo adventure, the game also features a dedicated mode to explore the Continent alone.
