Get your virtual table-top ready for an adventure in Temeria!

The Witcher Adventure Game, the digital installment of the board game set in the dark fantasy realm of The Witcher, is available 10% off for pre-orders, for Windows and Mac OS X, on GOG.com. That's only $8.99 until November 27, when we expect the game to launch. If you were taking part in the beta-test program for this title, you get a special (non-stackable) 40% off discount, valid until December 27.

The Witcher Adventure Game takes players on a journey across the world of the Witcher as they assume the roles of four distinct characters known from the books and video games: Geralt of Rivia, monster slayer; Triss Merigold, cunning sorceress; Yarpen Zigrin, dwarven warrior; and Dandelion, roguish bard. Each character has unique skills and multiple ways of overcoming obstacles - the choice is yours: do you fight your way to victory, call on your charm or try your hand at diplomacy? It's the true spirit of board gaming brought straight to your computer screen. Set in the mature and brutal world of The Witcher the game features 4 unique heroes with different skills and approaches to problem solving. With clear, simple rules and intuitive mechanics, tons of quest cards allow players to tell a new tale every time they play. Look adventure in the eye in a world with which you'll fall in love!

Time to research all the good-luck spells and enchantments that work on virtual dice, as you prepare to launch your first campaign in The Witcher Adventure Game, for only $8.99 (or $5.99 if you were among the beta-testers!), on GOG.com. The special pre-order discount lasts until December 4, the expected day of the game's release. The 40% off special discount for beta-test participants remains valid one month after the game's release.

**$8.99 is the discounted price for this title in the US. Other prices will apply in different countries. If you end up paying more than than the US price, we will reimburse the difference from our own pocket, giving it back to you in store credit (this is what we call the "Fair Price Package").
Play Vs AI huh? Hotseat huh? Looks like I'll have to grab this then! I thought this was a galaxy only, multiplayer only game so I'm pleasantly surprised.

Fever_Discordia: This has got to mean that GOG Galaxy is nearing launch too, right?
I believe so, the beta used Galaxy (I imagine it was the main reason for having a beta in the first place), and I can't see the game goes live without a multiplayer option.
I'll be gettin' this too, was very pleasantly surprised with what I played in the Beta, it'll be good for just zoning out and seeing if I can actually win for once.
Don't we get this for free if we preordered Witcher 3, or am I imagining things?
Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the game is made. Witcher 3 the T-shirt. Witcher 3 the lunchbox. Witcher 3 the coloring book. Witcher 3... the flamethrower! Kids love it. And my favorite, Geralt the Doll! :P
The page mentions the story being different every time, but how in-depth is the story? If I was to only play it single-player with the AI, would the story be interesting enough to make it worthwhile? I'm really not sure what to expect considering it's a board game.

JudasIscariot: I have no idea, sorry :(
I'll try asking CDPR about it. They aren't very talkative about plans however, or rather it's random. Sometimes they answer, but more often not.

I won't be getting this, as I just didn't find the beta fun. The only time I've had fun while playing a digital version of a boradgame was back in the 90's, when I played some pirate themed digital boardgame with my sister. It was fun because we were huddled in the front of the same computer and had direct communication there. It's that direct social interaction that makes boardgames fun and what The Witcher has to offer just isn't the same.

Tarnicus: What interest rate do I get on my store credit? I'm not fond of anyone taking my money in advance for goods or services that I haven't yet decided to purchase.

HypersomniacLive: This has been explained so many times, yet there will always be someone repeating "but you do pay the same price". *sigh*
You guys expected a tad too much from GOG and it's promise for Regional Pricing. Anyone who put a bit of thought into it knew that it was going to be just for early-merchandising purposes and, at the end of the road, it's going to remain as a beautiful dream. In life, in business, in politics and in some RPGs, you have to break some promises to keep others. When they fully stop delivering DRM-free games, then it's "gg no re" and bb to GOG.
To be honest, it's not a big surprise nor a disappointing one, as they managed it pretty well. You get Store Credit, which you can use to buy games and movies. Technically, in the short-term, you're indeed paying more. But with the refund what you "lost" on your previous purchase will be redeemed on your next ones. So also technically speaking, on the long-term, you're paying the same than everyone else. When they bring the Wallet, it will become more practical and useful.

Your discomfort is understandable. I don't share it, but I understand it.

This one perhaps? That's ony of my favorite digital board games ever :) (It's Piracy)
It's not nice that this game is regionally priced even with the fair price package. With CDP as publisher one should think at least they themselves know better than that and bring it out with worldwide flat prices. So much for "regional pricing is a rip off". Yes, I know there is this fair price package but why so complicated? Why not just $10 for everyone?

No, it was Redhook's Revenge
I had to check out what the name of it was as it's been years since I played it, but it was fun game, at least when played with some one.

Ixamyakxim: AI long time ago I made the decision to pick up either Twilight Imperium 3rd or StarCraft. I went with TI3, thinking I'd go back and get StarCraft another time. Of course to this day you can grab a copy of TI3, but StarCraft is so out of print you have to sacrifice cats and dogs to the dark Blizzard gods and do terrible things at truckstops to get one.

JudasIscariot: Or just visit ebay :P
Isn't that largely the same thing? Ebay, truckstop, sacrifice... I'm not seeing much of a difference, they all seem to relate closely to very shady business.

With ebay you don't have to leave your house :P

Besides, I buy on ebay all the time and I never had any problems but that's just my experience. YMMV and all that :)
I have participated with my wife in the Beta testing, and we both had great fun.
I have one question: Having 2 PC's in the house, each of us has it's own GOG account. Do we both have to buy the game or it's enough to buy one copy and share it.

Thanks,

P.S. Sorry if this question has an obvious answer....
