The Witcher Adventure Game

Play Geralt, Triss, Yarpen or Dandelion and race through a Witcher quest log with swords, spells and charm.

The Witcher Adventure Game drops you into Sapkowski's world as one of four heroes: Geralt the monster slayer, Triss the sorceress, Yarpen the dwarven warrior or Dandelion the bard. Each character solves problems their own way, with a sword, charm, spells, bribes or a band of dwarves behind them. You travel the map, tackle investigations and fights, and collect trophies and clues to push your story forward. The mix of travel, dice rolling and set collection feels like a video-game quest log turned into a board game. It is an adventure race for two to four, with a long evening's worth of play, and it rewards fans who already know the books or games.

Who it's for

You know the Witcher books or games and want a board game that feels like a quest, played with a group that likes theme.

Not for you if…

You want a tight strategy game or you have never heard of the Witcher. Luck matters, and the fun leans on the setting.

Vibe's take

Cinematic and a bit luck-driven. Each hero feels different, and the fun is in how the story beats play out, not in a tight optimal path.
