Blizzard's newest game, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has entered open beta, which means it is now available for all Mac and PC users in North America. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a free-to-play collectible card game that is set in the Warcraft universe and focuses on 1v1 matches.

In the game, each player chooses a hero with a specific skill set. Heroes are all based on Warcraft lore, so well-known characters like Jaina Proudmoore, Gul'dan, Uther the Lightbringer, and Thall are featured. In the free-to-play Play Mode, Players face each other with a deck of 30 cards and aim to win in either casual or ranked games.

Sheathe your sword, draw your deck, and get ready for Hearthstone - the fast paced strategy card game that's easy to learn and massively fun. Start a free game on Battle.net and play your cards to sling spells, summon creatures, and command the heroes of Warcraft in duels of epic strategy.

With powerful prebuilt decks, and hundreds of additional cards to win, craft or purchase - your collection never stops evolving.

Challenge players of all skill levels on Battle.net or hone your skills in practice matches against some of the greatest strategists of Azeroth - Thrall, Uther, Gul'dan, and more!

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has been in closed beta since August, but for the first time, anyone can download the game. Currently, the beta has been opened in North America, with plans to extend access to other countries over the next few days. Blizzard also has plans to introduce an iOS version of the game in the future.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft can be downloaded from the Blizzard website for free.

Collectible card game? So, basically it's Pokemon but with Warcraft characters?

First Pokemon-style pet battles in WoW, now this.

What with the addition of Kung Fu Panda in MoP, Blizz is really targeting the 12-and-under set these days.


No. Not like Pokemon. It's like Yu-Gi-Oh.

wouldn't "UNsheathe your sword, draw your deck..." make more sense?

No. The idea is to put away your weapons, and play cards instead. Try unsheathing your sword, and drawing your deck - then tell us how much sense it makes.
