Gwent Cards List

Gwent cards are playing cards used in an ancient dwarven card game in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. If you wish to partake of this optional activity, you will need a great deck and a quick wit in order to avoid getting trounced by the more experienced players you will inevitably run into during your travails.

This guide will show you all the Gwent cards in the Witcher 3, their locations and effects. Beginners can also check out the general Gwent guide-ubaci link.

There are at least three different factions decks in Gwent: the Scoia’tael, the Northern Realms, and the Nilfgaardian Empire. Each deck has unique cards, passive perks, and leader abilities. Cards can be purchased from vendors, unlocked during quests, and found throughout the world.
