So sad right now, because hearthstone and yu-gi-oh are just too damn childish and when I saw that one of the very first cards was called "Poor F** Infantry" I thought this was going to be my new jam. Doesn't even tell me when I'm lagging so dunno maybe it's one of the many bugs that other people are running into.
It destroys one of my cards when the timer runs out (usually one of the better ones, but it doesn't matter which one because this is a game about synergy and combos where even the most lowly of cards can be the difference in winning and losing) and then the round is hopeless. I have played a few games of Gwent and keep losing because even though I am playing cards the server doesn't recognize it.
UI is buggy AF (I'm on PC so it may be due to the fact that it is obviously a half-assed port from a tablet/phone UI.) And the topper was that I have a lousy internet which I am aware of but I have played several other digital ccg's and while I will occasionally lag such that it shows I am disconnected, it almost always resumes play quickly enough for me to stay in the game.
The only non-PVP option for new players is a terrible "Training" section where the AI gives up on the last round, so totally worthless as far as figuring out some strategies and seeing opposing cards in action.
Have to buy single player content (not even a nice little starter mission which would be a better way to do the tutorial and allow new players to learn their cards and the flow of play while not under a timer.) From what I can see (but as I said, I probably am missing a bunch of content that is probably buried in some sub-menu of a sub-menu,) you can only play PVP at the start. Navigating through the main menus for building decks and checking out your rewards is convoluted AF. Tutorial was ridiculous and doesn't teach you anything of value. Have played a few hours this morning and I'm done beating my head against a wall. I'll start with the little bit of good: cards/animations/overall theme and style of the factions is gorgeous and geared towards an adult audience (I mean, hey, it is witcher afterall.) Now for the substantial amount of bad.
I love the Witcher series and a fan of digital ccg's, so when I found Gwent (on slant no less) I was psyched.
To play, you'll need to create a free account on, Blizzard's online game service.InquisitiveHeryshaf's Experience Overall terribly disappointed.In fact, the only problem it has is that it's so good, it will eat up all of your free time.

The most important part of HearthStone may be the battles against other players, but it's not the only part of the game. You can play in individual duels over the Internet, or try your hand against the computer - but maybe the most interesting playing mode is the Arena, where you are assigned a random deck of cards and must try to survive the greatest number of duels using just that. You can call on creatures to attack your opponents, cast powerful spells, and combine all of your abilities to perform powerful moves that will finish off your enemy and all of their health points.
