About the game

Hearthstone is a free-to-play online card game. Players must bring their opponent’s life points down to zero to win. Each deck is built around one of nine different classes. Every class has its own signature cards and powers. Like in Magic: The Gathering, deck styles can vary from Aggressive to Midrange to Control. Players battle for the title of world champion at the Hearthstone World Championship.

History

Hearthstone is originally a spin-off from the popular Warcraft and World of Warcraft games. Many characters from the games appear in Hearthstone as cards, as well as nine classes from World of Warcraft. Following its release in 2013, new characters from the Warcraft universe have been introduced as cards in various expansions. 2014 saw Hearthstone’s first open World Championship at BlizzCon.
