The Witcher 3 is an immensely popular game and players are always trying to improve their deck with better Gwent cards. The Witcher 3 has a Collect ‘Em All quest that has players running around to collect every Gwent card available. Gwent Cards can be collected three ways in The Witcher 3 and players will need to combine the three to get a full-stack.
