The goal is to knock your enemy down to zero health, and prevent them doing the same, by cleverly combo-ing your cards. You draw cards from a deck, and take it in turns to play them.
You play across a virtual board, of which there are four, all with their own little interactive quirks. They each have their own special cards, which are a mix of powers and minions, and which you can supplement with neutral monsters. You choose from nine classes that will be familiar to anyone who's played World of Warcraft, although it's very easy to learn. You play against other players online - there's a very quick matching system that pits you against players of roughly the same skill. It's a genuine delight, full of charm and wit and tension.
Lucky enough to get into the closed beta, I've been playing nothing but Hearthstone for the last few months. "Please be aware that if smoke starts curling out of our servers due to unexpectedly high demand for Hearthstone," Blizzard warns, "we may have to temporarily disable Open Beta account activations until we're ready to take on more players."
#WOW HIDE ONLINE STATUS FOR FREE#
When it does, you can download the game for free here. The beta opened up in North America last night, and will be opening here in Europe "in the next few days", Blizz promises. Pull up a chair! World of Warcraft maker Blizzard has opened up the beta version of its unfeasibly addictive online card game Hearthstone - and it's well worth a try.
