You build a deck of 30 cards using one of 10 different classes (Mage, Shaman, Druid, and more) that you think will have the best chance of beating your opponents. The game is similar to many other CCGs in the same category, such as Magic the Gathering. Nowadays, it has a small, dedicated fanbase of players all striving to achieve the Legend rank every month, and is still adding new card classes and game modes like the popular Battlegrounds mode. Hearthstone had a meteoric rise in popularity, hitting more than 100 million total players in 2018.
