What is it?
It is a Gwent (that card minigame in witcher 3) based rpg and puzzle game.
Huh?
You go around adventuring on a map and deal with combat and other situations through Gwent encounters that may have special rules in case of puzzles.
Example of a single puzzle:
Your goal is to kill all enemies but your troops can't deal enough damage to do it and enemies boost their HP at certain intervals. You do however have a card that destroys unit(s) with highest HP. You need to manipulate enemies in to having exact same amount of hp to kill them with your card.
Then there are standard Gwent battles where it lasts 3 rounds and you need to win 2 of them.
You collect resources on map to build more cards and buff your units.
Through choices you make in dialogue etc you gain (and sometimes lose) various allies and artifacts that act as special cards.
When does it take place?
Long before Witcher 3, in fact, in this game Geralt makes appearance later in the game and earns his "of Rivia" name from the main protagonist of the game, Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia who gets invaded by Nilfgaard.

I quite like it and have spent my free time almost obsessed with it.
