Title: Hearthstone
Post by: 123outerme on January 04, 2016, 11:16:15 PM
I just saw someone on Hearthstone named jW1n, so I was prompted to make this post.
If you play, post your Battle.net here! I'm on there as 123outerme.
Hearthstone is a really fun CCG, with extremely simple mechanics, hence the "deceptively SIMPLE" part. The "deceptively" part comes from the amount of choices both in deck building and in play itself. You play to reduce the opponent's health from 30 to 0 before they can do the same to you.
[spoiler=For players of Hearthstone already, or those not already overloaded with info]
If you've watched Trump's basic Hearthstone guide, you obviously know that this is only the win condition; the goal is to control the board with your minions, to make reducing you opponent's health easier.
[/spoiler]
Anyways, if you haven't tried it, I reccomend it. It requires a lot of strategic thinking, and is extremely fun and rewarding.

Who knows if the player wasn't @JWinslow23 ? :P I personally am not a big fan of TCG's but I wonder if this one requires buying cards with real money? Because my main gripe with Magic and Yu Gi Oh was that in order to win, you basically needed to spend thousands of dollars on cards.

No it is all free, it just takes longer with out money but Etho hasn't spent any money and he has got this far:

I never play those types of games, really. I'm sure it wasn't me. Besides, my name is usually JWinslow23 for signing in to stuff (or more rarely, JRWinslow). Nice that someone else has a similar name to me, this world is small after all.

Hearthstone is an online trading card game by Blizzard (you know, the Starcraft/Warcraft guys) set in the Warcraft/WoW universe. It's pretty fun and you guys should check it out. It's completely free, although you can pay for stuff if you want to, and you can get any card in the game for free if you grind enough.

iirc, there was already a topic (https://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=983.0) on this :P
Disregarding that, it looks interesting, but I'm already dedicated to three mobile games(CoC, Boom Beach, and BTD Battles). I might try this in my spare time, if I can remember to. And how hard is it to grind?

I've just started playing Blizzard's games, in fact I've got Heroes of the Storm downloading right now  ;)
I'll check out Hearthstone. I've got a friend at school who plays it, maybe he can help me get started.
