Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a fast-paced, easy-to-learn
online† digital card game for players of every skill level.
Hearthstone offers a wide variety of ways to play, whether you want
to prove your prowess in ranked matches, test your chops as a deck
builder in the Arena, take on crafty A.I. opponents in the Curse of
Naxxramas Adventure (sold separately), or challenge your friends to
a duel.
Hearthstone players on Android tablets have access to all of the
exciting features and content available in the Windows, Mac, and
iPad® versions of the game—including the recently released first
expansion, Goblins vs Gnomes™, which adds more than 120 new cards
and an all-new type of minon, Mechs. Players can purchase Goblins
vs Gnomes card packs in the in-game shop for gold or real-world
currency, earn cards as Arena rewards, or craft them using Arcane
Dust.
To celebrate the launch on Android and help new players start
their collection, anyone who starts one game in any mode on their
Android tablet will receive one free Classic card pack from the
original Hearthstone set.
In addition to the Android tablet version, Hearthstone: Heroes
of Warcraft is available now on iPad and Windows and Mac PCs, with
iPhone and Android phone versions in the works.
