It’s actually a board game, not a point-‘n’-click title
Whilst fantasy RPG fans like myself bide their time until the arrival ofThe Witcher 3later this year, we might have another game set in the world of Geralt of Rivia.The Witcher Adventure Gameisn’t actually a point-‘n’-click title, it’s the name of an upcoming board game being developed by Fantasy Flight Games along with CD Projeckt RED.
With the ability to level up a character and go on a variety of different quest types, it looks like the board game has all the elements of the games. Players can take their pick of four of the franchise’s stalwart characters: Geralt, naturally, along with the sorceress Triss, the bard Dandelion, and the Dwarven warrior Yarpen Zigrin.
Along with the actual board game, a digital version to play on either iOS or Android tablets will be available too. There have been a few interesting videogame-based boardgames to have come out recently (yes I knowThe Witcheris based on a series of books, pedants) but I’ve not tried any of them out, partly due to price and partly down to a lack of fellow players. Maybe a digital version might be the way to go here unless any of you guys fancy heading round to my house to play.
