It’s almost been a year since I blogged about Hearthstone (surprisingly). A lot has changed but a lot has still stayed the same. I haven’t been actively playing, but I’ve been playing enough per month to get each new card back (you need 8 or 9 wins in ranked play a month). The game has finally been released for Android tablets and phones, but I haven’t installed it yet – I still don’t like the fact that you have to be online to play.

An expansion pack and another single-player adventure was released. I’ve been spending my gold on the new expansion’s pack but I seem to get a lot of duplicates (there just aren’t a lot of common cards I guess). I skipped buying the single-player adventure. Maybe I’ll get it in the future if it is ever cheap. I don’t play enough to justify spending $25 on a few legendaries.

Blizzard introduced a new Tavern Brawl mode. That’s the first fun I’ve had in Hearthstone for a long time. The new weekly rules add more randomness to the game so while it’s probably less a reflection of one’s skill/cards but it’s a lot more entertaining!

Still waiting to have more than 9 decks. It’s a pain but I guess there is some unknown UX or gameplay reason for Blizzard to keep this limit in place.
