Hearthstone Launches on Android Tablets

Blizzard's free-to-play card game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is now available to Android tablets in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The game can be downloaded for free from the Google Play store and Amazon Appstore. Blizzard has announced that a worldwide release will roll out "in the days ahead."

Players who login on an Android tablet and start any game mode will receive a classic booster pack from the original Hearthstone set. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said that the company was looking forward to releasing the game on phones in the future, but did not specify a release date.

The Goblins vs Gnomes expansion was released last week and introduced 120 new cards to the game. Hearthstone won GameSpot's award for Mobile Game of the Year, beating out nominees which included Threes and The Wolf Among Us.
