I think the better players get at the game the less time it will take. First few games players don't know their strength tend to play until they are overpowered. But since it's a race the more people play, and learn how strong everything is, they can go kill monsters as early as they can take the challenge. So I think that will put the pressure on more and more you play. I think with a veteran group the length probably can be taken down to around 1-1.5 hours for two players(without setup).

I have a question. Probably I don't understand sth. Let's consider I am on my 3rd reputation level (1 before the winning reputation point) and I gained 2 trophies for stats and 1 trophy for slaying monster level 1. Can I win game by slaying the monster with 1 level or i has to be the monster level 2 considering I already have trophy for monster level 1?

Monster Hunt makes the monsters feel more alive and unique. Roughly two to four times per fight something unique is going to happen either because of it's special attacks or because of its passive ability when you discard it's cards through damage. The monster weaknesses are also a lot of fun. I would recommend including this from the start even with new players. It adds very little more to keep track of so easy to add.

Maybe it's easy to keep track among experienced players, but for our group Weakness tokens requires a lot of energy to not forget to handle. And if you hate shuffling tokens (like us), it adds up to inconveniences, as there is a lot of token shuffling. Though overall I agree that Monster Trail adds a lot to the game, and I will always play with it included, not sure I'd recommend to start with it.

So ive played the game solo twice (no wild hunt expansion) and ive played at 4 players twice. Some may complain about the 4 player count being too high, but with at least my group we have almost all gotten interested in each others side quests and have been invested in each others turns. So while our 4 player sessions last about 5.5 hours, we all walk away feeling like we had a lot of fun. I dont know if id suggest 5 player, but 4 and below is a ton of fun.

That's sort of how it went for us too it was a bit longer that most of the things we play. But it was simple and interesting enough to just make an afternoon of it with a meal break near the end. We mostly stopped cause there were kids there but it was nice to leave the big moves at the end till when we were all refueled. :)

As someone who has played it at 4 player (even in the down times, ) The game feels lively, has fun gameplay and banter happens. Like when people are exploring and doing their side quests, myself and the rest at the table, get invest in each other's quests! The card comboing is a lot of fun and the theme is nailed. This and Cthulhu Death May Die are probably my 2 favorite games of all time and the Witcher is starting to take the top spot in my board game group.

Game of the year? Umm no, disagree there. Several mechanics I didn’t like so passed on it. This game just gave me a feeling of going back and playing the video game again instead of spending a fortune on a board game version. Disagree “better than the video game”. Drawing a long bow there.

@@PecktecGames irrelevant whether I played the game or not. Seen enough gameplay on KZitem. In my opinion which is just that, my opinion. This game isn’t that great. Do not like the choose your own adventure style event cards. It’s an old mechanic that is broken once you’ve played the game enough times to remember the best option on a card. Combat is slow meaning other players will sit there and be bored to death waiting for their turn. Oh! you can control the enemy when it’s not your turn. That pretty much tells me it’s long and drawn out. I’ve played other games where combat is lot faster and more enjoyable. At the end of the day, it’s just my opinion. If you like the game, great! For me it was an easy pass. Do love the video game.

@@sagittariusa9012 It was way lighter than I expected, the monster hunting wasn't really fun or interesting, leveling is very basic and boring. The spots on the map are not exciting at all. I won the game by meditating for every single point, and then fighting a witcher next to me for the last one. It didn't feel exciting at all. I really like the story events part of it, that felt engaging and fun, but it was kind of a random mess. (kind of like Eldritch horror, where one second you might be in a nightclub and you break your leg, and then next event you are in a foot chase with cultists (wait - what happened to my broken leg)). I am a huge witcher fan (played my first witcher game in 2009), read books as a kid, and watched Witcher TV show as a kid (the polish one from 1990s). I also love dungeon crawlers and ameritrash games. I am the target audience for this game. Maybe my expectations were too high. I expected something more along the lines of Runebound 3rd edition I think. That systems could be a lot of fun with a Witcher theme. Also, I understand why Geralt is not in the game. But come on. I want Geralt. Whether to play as or at least interact with. Its like having a lord of the rings game, but Gandalf is not in it....

This is FAR from game of the year. All you need to do is look at all the bad gameplay loops and shallow mechanics threads popping up on BGG. Every Witcher fan will give it a higher rating than deserved but regular boardgamers can CLEARLY see that this game fell short of expectations. GOB didnt playtest and it clearly shows.
