We take a brief detour from our recap of Baptism of Fire to bring you some unsolicited commentary on Gwent or Gwint, the card game brought to you by The Witcher 3 and inspired by a card game briefly described in The Witcher saga. What is it? Why is it? We explore these fundamental questions, as well as why mini games in video games exist at all. Spoiler alert: for no good reason.
