CD Projekt Red, one of the largest video game developers in Europe, teams up with board game makers Go On Board to produce a deck building game based on The Witcher. It is cally The Wizard: The Old Worldand will use the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform to do so.
right to BoardGameGeek news, the game takes place before the story of Geralt from Rivia and will revolve around five different schools of wizards, with players fighting monsters and each another, using the decks in a race to see who can build the notoriety of the wizarding school first. Here are some explanations from the game description:
The game allows players to build their own unique packs of cards, choosing from a wide range of skills: attacks, escapes and wizard fighting magic – known as “signs”. Through the synergy of cards, players aim to get powerful combos as they use the distinctive skills of their wizarding school to their full potential. Missions, battles and even dice poker allow each player to earn money, get new items and train their skills.
During their journey, players will win more cards, unlock combos, and occasionally duel with each other. between concluding contracts to kill monsters. Sounds neat!
G / O Media may receive a commission
More strange is that the project will be launched, it seems, through a Kickstarter campaign, which will be broadcast somewhere in May. This is the Go On Board platform used to fund its previous board games, The Valhalla dice card game and the game Titans clip art, and has become the target for many other board game makers. However, many of them are not partners with large companies. Like recently like a year ago, CD Projekt Red was valued at over $ 6 billion.
This number has certainly dropped since then 2077. Cyberpunkthe messy launch in December last year, and again after large and internal data were found was allegedly stolen in a ransomware attack. Somehow, I think the company could afford to pay for a new board game.
