You can begin with a short series of tutorial\u00a0missions, or get right back to battling against friends and foes in the multiplayer. If you&#8217;ve already played on another platform, you&#8217;ll immediately be able to sign into your Battle.net account and get access to your cards, decks and\u00a0friends list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3059.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39807\" title=\"IMG_3059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3059.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"710\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3059.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3059-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_3059-450x252.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Hearthstone<\/em>\u00a0is free to play, with in-app purchases for additional singleplayer campaigns, multiplayer Arena play and additional card packs.
