Hearthstone® Fact Sheet
Blizzard Entertainment’s Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a free-to-play digital strategy card game. Designed to be
deceptively simple and epically engaging for players of all backgrounds, Hearthstone features quick and lively duels that
evoke the spirit of a friendly match played beside a crackling tavern fire.
GAME MODES
Play Mode: Duel other players to level up your Heroes and complete quests along the way. Whether you’re a grizzled
veteran, curious newcomer, or fall somewhere in between, Battle.net matchmaking will pair you up against a worthy
opponent. You also have the chance to earn exclusive card backs each month to customize your deck in Ranked Play.
The Arena: Put your skills to the test in this mode where deck-building is half the fun. Pick between three different,
randomly selected Heroes, then assemble a new deck by choosing from a selection of randomized cards. Once 30 cards
have been selected, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and head to the Arena where players duel other participants for a
chance to win rewards. After winning 12 matches, or losing 3, you will unlock a chest of loot based on how well you did.
Solo Adventures: With Adventures, players face off against computer-controlled opponents to earn unique Adventurespecific cards. If you’re not quite ready to set out on an Adventure, Practice Mode offers a chance to polish abilities and
try out new deck ideas against basic or expert AI opponents.
Tavern Brawl: Each week, a different Tavern Brawl will pit you head to head against another player using exciting and
unique rules. You may have to toughen up before entering the fray – Tavern Brawl is unlocked once a player has a level
20 Hero. Tavern Brawl has free admission, and you’ll earn a free card pack when you win your first game of the week.
