On green thursday, the day before easter friday I made the mistake to download Hearthstone for the ipad. What is Hearthstone? It is a trading card game from Blizzard. Oh boy is it addictive. I am realllly bad at it bad I have been playing it whenever I found time over the last two weeks. I think I spent 3/4 of the time over easter playing the darn game. I only stopped when I had guests over (luckily quite often during those days).
It is easily the best game for the ipad and really a lot of fun to play. I like the fact that a game usually takes around 15min. So it can be played even if you don't have a lot of time on your hands.
You can buy card packs for real money but you don't really need to. You can buy packs with ingame gold. You have to be prepared to grind a long time to get the necessary gold though. You can get gold through three wins (10), daily quests (40-100) or playing in the arena mode. If you want to get anything worthwhile from the arena though you need to win at least 5-6 games.. I am not yet able to do that. You have to win a few since it costs 150 gold to just play in the arena. So when one pack of cards costs 100 gold, you can see that it can take quite some time to get them.
It has to be said though that you can win in the game even without spending any money on it. It is easier if you do spend money but many streamers have demonstrated that you can do really good with "free decks".
So far I think I spend 6.- on the game. I am trying to not spend more but hey, if you enjoy your time with it and spend many hours on it, why not invest some money in it?
I can really recommend you pick it up. It is also available for PC and MAC. Here is a little video from a guy playing it for the first time. Really gives a good introduction:
