The Witcher 3 isn't coming until February 2015, but fans will be able to get a smaller Geralt of Rivia fix sometime this year with The Witcher Adventure Game, which adapts the mutant monster hunter's adventures into a turn-based board game. Planned as both a tabletop and online PC/mobile game, it pits four players against each other in an indirect, continent-spanning competition to see who can complete the most quests. It's also currently in beta at GOG.com, and while it doesn't have the gore, sex, or intrigue of its action-RPG cousins, it does its best to capture the feel of Geralt's world.
As Geralt (or sorceress Triss Merigold, bard Dandelion, or dwarven warrior Yarpen Zigrin), you'll travel across 17 spaces representing locales from the Witcher games, including Vizima and Kaer Morhen. Each turn lets you perform two actions; you can move one space (or two, if you don't mind the potentially nasty effects of drawing a Foul Fate card), draw a card to "develop" your character with bonus actions you can use during combat, rest to heal any wounds you've incurred, or "investigate." That last one's the most important, as it'll draw a card with some small objective (like getting swept up in a fight, or taking a message to another town) driven by a few sentences of story. Resolve it, and it'll net you red, blue, or purple proof tokens.
