Some core elements are similar. But it's vastly improved for multiplayer puroposes.

Edit: There was a great iconographic a few months ago on reddit showing similarities and differences between two, but can't find it so far. Will update when I find it

w3 gwent is basically baby mode compared to stand alone vers. so beware

Similiar but way deeper, but if you liked it in W3 you are going to love it as a standalone game! :)

So its nothing like it then, ♥♥♥♥ this game then.

Here is a great write-up

Edit: it lacks improvements to the game since october 2019, though (e.g.new expansion, new progression system).

The Witcher 3 Gwent is too linear, especially in light of the game being a competitive multiplayer. This is a refined, more deeper game of Gwent with more cards, factions and synergies to implement.

to be frank, gwent has been overhauled so many times, its nothing like original game.

W3 Gwent was not designed for pvp and simple balance changes can't fix this. CDPR tried on the early stages of the closed beta but soon enough it became clear that mechanics need to change to make this game playable in pvp. So in card mechanics, deck management mechanics, UI visuals, overall aesthetics game feels very different. But generally it is the same 2-sides battlefield with rows, cards give points, who has more points in the end of the round wins round, match of 3 rounds - win 2 of them to win.

Trust me - this game has absolutely nothing to do with the original card game. I played the gog version for two hours today - I'm shocked! I'm glad that i tested the principle before i wanted to buy thronbreaker. I'm really very disappointed.

Yes! It's that much more refined and suitable for multiplayer game than W3 minigame

I used to play a lot of gwent in closed beta and I enjoyed it a lot. When I went back to W3 gwent, my first thought was: "This is boring, cards just sit there..." After finishing first match I thought: "This game is amazing!"

So, no. Games are different, but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy both. I couldn't after the homecomming patch... Being a witcher fan, I wish I could but there you go.

I would still pay for standalone W3 gwent game...
