    After playing The Witcher Adventure Game’s digital version, this is the first time in a long time that not only am I contemplating running out and grabbing a physical copy, but I find myself wanting to play more and more with my friends. The offline mode taught me, a couple online games had me hooked, and now I seriously need a physical copy for my living room.

    The hotseat mode manages to capture the boardgame atmosphere for a fair price. But don't expect a complex strategy game.

    A good incarnation of Geralt's universe in a new genre. A Tabletop game is perhaps not for all, but it is made with attention to details and those who can appreciate the genre will find many hours of entertainment with this game.

    A decent board game for the fans of The Witcher universe. Simple and not very atmospheric, but really enjoyable. [01/2015, p.66]

    If you are keen on board games, then this digital version of the Witcher board game is a great opportunity to learn about the world of this franchise and to enjoy some great multiplayer matches.

    Nicely done digital version of the board game, which is missing something of the witcher’s perfection. Its storytelling and rich gaming options make it a suitable to kill the time before The Witcher 3 hits the shelves.

    A decent experience, but it's weighed down by its random nature and the lack of good early game options for less combat-heavy characters.

    The Witcher Adventure Game is a faithful recreation of the board game.

    The Witcher Adventure Game is a faithful recreation of the board game and it's perfect as virtual tabletop game.

    A faithful (perhaps too faithful) translation of a mildly fun tabletop experience saddled with simplistic, repetitive objectives.

    If you are a fan of the franchise, by all means, consider adding this game to your collection, as it will let you slide into the shoes of some of your favorite characters. For all others, look elsewhere for your adventuring and competitive needs.

    The Witcher Adventure Game is a board game that manages to offer something new in the fantasy world of Geralt, as long as you like shifts, dice, cards to draw from the deck, contingencies and many texts to read.

    The Witcher Adventure Game is a straight virtual version of the board game that lacks in players interaction.

    It looks classy at first, but in the end it as merely an average board game in a well known universe.

    Monotonous gameplay flow, almost identical towns and quests, and there is just one winning strategy. It’s a good-looking, but brainless game; some solitaires are deeper than this one.

    There are far better uses for both your money and your time.

    I didn't expect to write it, but it's one of the most boring games ever created, I don't represent anything, the bottom and meter of mud.

    There is no game here it's all RNG. You only get to pick the direction of movement and placement of a couple of cards when another card tellsThere is no game here it's all RNG. You only get to pick the direction of movement and placement of a couple of cards when another card tells you to place them through RNG!!! lol. Worst waste of time I ever spent. Besides being RNG it also cheats in favor of the AI because it has no difficulty levels. While you do get some cards to change the outcome of the RNG the RNG is so set against you that you don't get very many chances to change to die in your favor. So, you basically lose the die roll before it ever begins.

    Now, if you like wasting time then you might like this game. It has no real since of adventure though since basically the quest cards you should pick should be the ones you can do the fastest. The one who finishes 3 quests the fastest most always wins anyways. So, that the game is over the the one with the most quest points wins hardly ever take effect over the one who finishes 3 quests first.

    Nobody is playing multiplayer and the game is basically dead on Steam. It can't even mount the 300 players per hour needed to get on Steamstats.    … Full Review »
