The *The Witcher: Old World – Mages* expansion brings five new wizard characters into the already vibrant Witcher universe. Each mage gets a stylized miniature, a player board with attributes and energy, and a custom deck of action cards. This means that, in addition to the 12 classic Witchers, you now have 12 completely distinct characters, each with their own specialty and combat style. The extra components include 90 action cards, 30 wooden tokens, 5 specialty tokens, 5 trophy cards, and an additional board that expands gameplay possibilities. The conflict‑resolution‑by‑cards mechanic lets mages and Witchers duel with deck‑building, hand‑management, and dice‑rolling strategies, keeping the thrill of every showdown. The expansion also boosts replayability, as the initial setup varies each game, and the narrative choices of each character shape the story. If you love the dark, epic Witcher setting, want to test new combat tactics, and explore Old World deeper, this expansion is a must‑have. For those who already know the base game and love the blend of RPG, strategy, and action, the mages bring a fresh twist you can’t ignore. *The Witcher: Old World – Mages* not only expands the roster but also introduces new cards and resources that enrich the game flow, keeping the adventure and combat experience fans expect.
