Anyone playing Hearthstone?

It's Blizzard's take on Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering, but with Warcraft atmosphere. It's in public beta right now, and in my opinion it's quite fun and a it's a good time-waster in bite-sized chunks (games typically last 10-15 minutes). High level of polish IMO, so if you're into the genre, it's worth checking out.

It's free to play, but not pay-to-win; just like in other Blizzard multiplayer, they sort you with an opponent of similar ability, so people who don't buy additional card packs aren't going to find themselves head-to-head with people who have spent hundreds of dollars on card packs. And you do unlock additional cards through normal play as well (just obviously at a slower rate than you would if you put money into it). I've never put even $1 into buying card packs and I don't feel like it's ever disadvantaged me in multiplayer, even though I have a more limited selection of cards with which to build custom decks; the people I'm playing against have similar decks.

It's available for Windows, OSX, iOS, and Android (edit: the public beta is only for Windows and OSX). The Windows version is a touch-friendly desktop program; you can use it either with a keyboard and mouse or with a touchscreen device.

 

Lol I think that is the exact same title as my thread.

I was playing daily but I have taken a break for a good few weeks maybe a month.

Been playing Zelda Skyward Sword or Starbound instead with my little bits of free time.
Now that I beat Zelda I should get in for a few rounds of Hearthstone, prob fell behind the curve now with how cards/ constantly shifts.

 

After a couple days, I have to say it's got the classic Blizzard downsides for me.

(1) Highly addictive gameplay, even if not always highly exciting gameplay.
(2) Feels more like math than action.
