Like most card games, the basic version of Hearthstone is free to play, but offers a wide range of card packs that you can either buy with real money - starting from 2.992.99 for two packs of five cards - or earn by collecting gold and treasure within the game itself.

These range from 3 to 60, so you can spend a small fortune if you get carried away buying cards for the end-game Battle mode.įortunately, the rewards that you can earn in the single-player and Arena modes are good enough to get you quite a long way into the game before deciding if you want to part with any real-world money. Then you enter the main single-player campaign, which sends you on various missions throughout the Elder Scrolls world of Tamriel, where you can earn a number of starter cards and decks along the way, before introducing the Arena and Battle modes.īoth Arena modes give you good rewards, with new cards, as well as gold coins that you can use to buy more cards in the games online store.

The only drawback is that the games 3D graphics need a moderately powerful Mac, so check the system requirements before you download it.Īdmittedly, few of the Elder Scrolls games have ever been released on the Mac so thats not necessarily a big draw for Mac owners, but it still helps to give the game a distinctive character of its own.
