Blizzard has pretty much hit it out of the park with regards to its popular card battle game Hearthstone. With the familiarity of the Warcraft characters and universe, and the ease of learning the gameplay – the game is top notch. But it get boring after a while, especially when hitting new levels become more difficult. This is why Blizzard is mixing it up with the new “Tavern Brawl” feature.
If you don’t know what Hearthstone is, you might want to check out the game first. It’s heck easy to learn and pretty addicting, especially if you’ve played any Warcraft-based game before. The game uses the standard card battle orientation and premise, but builds on special card powers and features that resonate loudly with the Warcraft universe.
The new “Tavern Brawl” feature is basically a new way of fighting other players but with unique and situation-specific rules. This can vary from preset decks, or crafting a new deck from pre-selected cards, or games that feature buffs to specific minions. It’s basically Hearthstone gone crazy. That’s why it’s a brawl.
Caveats – this new feature will be available only for high level players, Level 20 and above to be exact. So this is another encouragement for you to build up those early levels. The first brawl will be available in the middle of June, and to sweeten the deal, players will earn a free card pack when they win their first game of the week.
