''Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft'' is an online collectible card game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is free-to-play with optional purchases to acquire additional cards and access content quicker. The game was announced at the Penny Arcade Expo in March 2013 and released on March 11, 2014. ''Hearthstone'' is available on both Microsoft Windows and OS X systems, and is also available on iOS and Android touchscreen devices. New content for the game involves the addition of new card sets and gameplay, taking the form of either expansion packs or single-player adventures that reward the player with collectible cards upon completion. As of November 2015, there were more than 40 million registered ''Hearthstone'' accounts. ==Gameplay== ''Hearthstone'' is a digital collectible card game that revolves around turn-based matches between two opponents, operated through Blizzard's Battle.net.〔 Players can choose from a number of game modes, with each offering a slightly different experience. Players start the game with a substantial collection of basic cards, but can gain rarer and more powerful cards through purchasing packs of cards or as reward for completing Arena runs. In-game gold is rewarded for completing randomized daily quests, where one is given each day, stacking up to three (one quest is able to be rerolled per day), and by winning matches in ranked play, where 10 gold per three wins is earned with a 100 gold limit per day.〔(Hearthstone: How to Make Gold, Get Cards, and Succeed for Free ).

Retrieved 28 Jan 2015.〕 ''Hearthstone'' is supported by micropayments for booster packs, Arena Mode entries, Adventure Mode wing access and alternate hero skins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wow.joystiq.com/2013/03/22/hearthstone-what-we-know-so-far/ )〕 Unlike other card games, ''Hearthstone'' does not use a trading card system and instead allows players to 'disenchant' unwanted cards into 'arcane dust' resource, which can then be used to 'craft' new cards of the player's choice. Hamilton Chu, executive producer of ''Hearthstone'', stated while talking about why Blizzard does not plan on adding a trading card system that, "...a key thing for us was focusing on (user )... playing the game".〔Watts, Steve. "Why Blizzard Avoided Card-trading for Hearthstone." ''Shacknews''. Shacknews LTD., 26 Aug 2013. Retrieved 27 Jan 2015.〕 Blizzard wanted to do things such as avoid a free market where card values could fluctuate, discourage cheating methods like bots and duping, reduce the unauthorized third party sales (all against the terms of use), and keep the profit derived from the game for the company.〔"Hearthstone: The Absence Of A Trading System." ''Gamebreaker Video Game News Plus''. Gamebreaker Media Group, Inc., 29 Apr 2013. Retrieved 27 Jan 2015.〕 ''Hearthstone'' is set within the ''Warcraft'' universe, with its characters, spells and locations drawing from existing lore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
