Gwent: Nilfgaard and Northern Realms

A two-player card game that simulates tactical skirmishes between rival factions from a fantasy setting. Players play unit cards to three battle rows, adding strength each turn until both players pass; the side with higher total strength wins the round and matches are best-of-three. Deckbuilding defines faction identity, leader abilities provide one-use effects, and special cards alter unit interactions or the battlefield state. Rounds proceed with minimal hand refresh between them, rewarding timing and resource management rather than heavy draw mechanics.
