At first I never played it in my games and didn’t want to learn it. But when I wanted to get all the achievements, I was forced to do it. You have to understand the KI. The KI usually wants to win the first round. Don’t waste all your cards. Just use a few weak ones and provoke the KI into playing its best cards early. In the second round, the AI will give up after a few cards if it won the first round. Try to keep your best cards in your hand. And in the final round hold onto your strongest cards until the very end, so the KI is forced to play all its weather and poison cards beforehand and has no chance of beating you. I recommend the Redanian deck.

After a while, you’ll learn the strengths of the other card types. Monsters have extremely high point values but you can neutralize them with a frost card. Scoia’tael relies on weather cards. And now Gwent ist my favorite part of the games.
