After a long time of wait and an intense closed beta phase, Blizzard finally decided to start the open beta. The popular trading card game, which is based on the Warcraft series, is now available as a free-to-play game for everyone who's interested. In case you keep encountering experienced players and lose more than often, take it easy - the first steps are always the hardest! Use your strategic skills and defeat your opponents with brainpower instead of machine guns.




To start playing straightaway, you can download the game client of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft from the official site. Keep in mind that a battle.net account is required in order to be able to play the game.

Also make sure to join the discussions by taking a look into our Hearthstone forum!
