Board Game The Witcher - Old World – Wild Hunt

They ride through the sky on horses that have risen from the dead, just like themselves

Suddenly, the light goes out, and incomprehensible fear grips hearts with icy claws. The air thickens, as if before a storm, but instead of rain, something much more terrible hangs over the ground - the Wild Gin, a ghostly cavalcade of horsemen. Their appearance is a harbinger of war and disaster. They come by surprise, leaving behind only cold and hopelessness. People disappear without a trace, taken to the ranks of this ghostly procession, doomed to eternally wander between worlds. Mothers bury their children, old men whisper prayers, but nothing can stop the warriors when they come for new souls.

"The witcher. Old World - Wild Gin" is an addition to the popular adventure strategy "The Witcher. Old World", which introduces a new cooperative mode. Players join forces to fight together against the terrifying warriors from another dimension known as the Riders of the Wild Hunt. You can also complete this adventure solo.

The expansion introduces new game mechanics that expand the possibilities of planning, and also adds new research and event maps. Players will complete quests, fight monsters and hounds of the Wild Hunt, gradually approaching the final battle with one of the Ghost Riders: Eredin, Nithral, Imlerich or Carantyr.

Game board

The game is divided into rounds, after which there is a final battle.

What`s new?

• Cooperative mode. Now you can move in random order, discuss and plan strategy together. Players have a common goal, so duels between witches are no longer available, as is the ability to frame a companion in a gambling game. Witch Poker can now only be played with locals. When meeting with a colleague, you can freely exchange coins, potions, monster tracks and bombs. You can also support the witcher in a battle against a monster or a hound if you are in the same location.
• Wild Gin. Wild Gin spawns at the start of the game with a specified number of shields preventing damage. At the end of each round, Wild Gin summons his faithful servants — new monsters and hounds appear on the field, after which the rider pursues witches and gains strength when they meet. Ghost Warriors and Hounds buff monsters if they are in a shared or linked location.
• Hounds. You can fight against ice hounds alone or together with other witches. The battle is part of the first phase and does not complete it. Each player fighting a hound creates one combination of cards that determines the outcome of the encounter.
• Battle with the Wild Hunt. The final battle takes place after the last round. Stock up Wild Hound`s health and learn about his special ability. Each player in a location with an enemy takes a turn by first destroying the shields. The rest move in the direction of the battle, after which the rider counterattacks the witchers with a normal or special strike card.

If the Wild Hunt`s health is depleted and at least one witcher is still conscious, you have defeated the Ghost Rider Squad!
