Once again, Blizzard is keeping interest alive in its premium collectible card battle game Hearthstone by coming out with a 2nd expansion this August. Hearthstone is easily one of the most popular card battle games around, and there are a LOT of those on Android. Blizzard gained Android traction when it finally made the game available to Android devices with smaller screens, such as smartphones. And now, a new expansion set – with new cards and gameplay elements – to reel you in.

Hearthstone’s second expansion will be called “The Grand Tournament” – ostensibly a celebration of the memories when heroes of all sizes, race, and skills were called to battle it out in a serious tournament to see who would battle the Lich King. In the World of Warcraft universe, that threat has now ended, and the tournament is celebrated in much more joyous times – hence the jovial environment, look, and feel of the expansion.

The Grand Tournament will introduce 132 new cards into the already packed Hearthstone card system – new spells, weapons, and characters you would associate with a tournament. As such, the Grand Tournament card packs are now up for pre-order – USD$49.99 for a bundle of 50 expansion-specific cards. Of course, if you purchase them now, you will only be able to open the pack when the expansion officially launches in August, but the pricing will be more expensive by then.

Are you excited for this new expansion? Seems like a lot of Hearthstone players are. If you haven’t tried Hearthstone, it’s easily one of the simplest card battle games you can learn on Android. Pick it up at the Play Store and start gaming.
