And thats not a typo.
Its freer than a run through a meadow with your birthday suit on.
Geeking out
A game ofHearthstoneinvolves two players and a board upon which cards are placed.

It is a deceptively simple set up, and the cards themselves are deceptively simple.
You are free to use your cards to either attack other cards or the general himself.
Thats about the crux of it.
Except I should probably mention that when I say general its not an official term by any means.
Although the game mechanics ofHearthstoneare relatively simple, the game itself is anything but.
There are certain traits minions can possess which alter the rules of the game.
A minion with Charge is able to attack in the same turn it was put down in.
A minion with Windfury is able to attack twice per turn.
Taunt can really ruin your day.
Mana Crystals are the currency you use to pay for your actions.
But there are also cards that belong to no class, and they can be used by anyone.
The premise of the game is very simple and easy to understand.
It doesnt feel quite so bad when youre dishing it out though.
Once youve constructed your deck you are ready for battle.
This is where phase two of your master plan comes in deployment.
Thats just the start though, there are many possibilities to take into account when battling your enemy.
Lastly there is an element of luck involved in how the cards are dealt to you.
Just like any TCG you buy small packs of cards to add to your collection.
But you said it was free?!
I hear you lament.
Yes I am talking to youMarvel: War of Heroes.
Player Daze
Having said all that, I have spent a couple of my hard earned groats on packs.
I currently have just over 300 real worldWOW-TCGcards sat in my cupboard.
I have never played that game.
Ive just always been spellbound by the art of Blizzard.
Check out my rare card!
Its been a long time since I playedWOWon my PC, but whilst I was there I was enchanted.
Well, while I wasnt having to interact with other real world players.
Then it was more insulted.
PlayingHearthstoneput me straight back in that world with a big hug and a cup of hot cocoa.
Were we face to face I would be wildly and erratically gesticulating at you with sheer beaming enthusiasm.
