9 Video Games You Didn't Know Were Turned Into Board Games (And How They Work)

9. The Witcher Adventure Game

When you think about it, adapting The Witcher franchise into the realm of board games makes a decent amount of sense. After all, boiled down to its essence, The Witcher is basically just about traversing a sprawling, open world and slaying monsters and looting for treasure. It's a fairly basic concept, and one that translates well to cardboard form.

In The Witcher Adventure Game, two to four players band together in order to travel throughout the world completing quests and downing ferocious beasts in order to earn victory points. You can play Geralt Of Rivia, Triss Merigold, Dandelion, or Yarpen Zigrin. Each character has a unique development deck giving each class its own play style.

What's great about The Witcher Adventure Game is how the quests work. The 'Investigation' deck and the 'Quest' deck work together to offer hints and enigmatic plot points, but they allow for the team playing to build their own different story every time, making the quests feel fluid and natural.
