Hearthstone is a free-to-play digital strategy card game that anyone can enjoy. Players choose one of nine epic Warcraft heroes to play as, and then take turns playing cards from their customizable decks to cast potent spells, use heroic weapons or abilities, or summon powerful minions to crush their opponent.

Not at all! We’ve designed Hearthstone so that anyone can get into it regardless of how familiar they are with the Warcraft universe or collectible card games in general. The game will teach you everything you need to know as you play it.

Hearthstone is available for Windows®, Macintosh®, iPad, Android and Windows 8 tablets, and iOS and Android mobile phones.
