Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

In the Witcher world, you play as Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia as she takes to the road in response to a Nilfgaardian invasion. The story follows her effort to rally support and lead her army through a kingdom at war. Travel across illustrated regions, speak with villagers and nobles, take on quests, and search for resources and treasures. Decisions in conversations and events can affect the story and your army, including the allies and cards available to you. Every battle uses a Gwent-like card system, with standard matches, short skirmishes, and puzzle encounters that set special rules or objectives. Customize your deck, recruit and train units, gather resources, and upgrade your camp to develop new skills and strengthen companions.

Lead Queen Meve through a war-torn Witcher world, making hard choices, exploring maps, and fighting with customizable card decks.
