Grab a place by the Hearthstone!

Greetings Traveler,

 I'm a big fan of collectible card games. When I first learned how to play the Pokemon TCG in the 6th grade, I was hooked. It was kind of brutal too since I couldn't afford buying more cards to be any good at competitions. It was sort of a love-hate relationship.

 Just like most card games, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft by Blizzard is tons of fun. It's a simple game of trying to kill off your opponent's hero with weapons and minions and spells before they can do so on to your hero. 

 But what makes it fun?

 I've tried to boil it down to some key factors.

 Competition, Exploration and Chance.

 Let me explain... like I would actually leave you hanging.

 People love to compete... for some reason. As for games like Hearthstone players revel at out-thinking each other. There's a thrill when you set a trap and wait for your opponent to fall into it. There's a boost in confidence when you've managed to corner your opponent as you manage to get full control of the board.Games like this are a great way for humans to display their dominance over another without threat of possible injury or having any real ramifications. 

 Another thing people love is discovering new things. Hearthstone and almost all collectible card games are filled with a multitude of cards just waiting for you to add to your decks. They're fun to look at and exciting to use. Players get to explore how these new cards can be used to gain an advantage in the game or how they work along with other cards they already have.

 This was probably what got me hooked. It's like playing chess but you're able to choose each piece that would fight for you. The possibilities were many and you just can't help but want to try them all.

 Then that's when Chance comes in. As a player you try your best to sway chance into your favor. I think that's what hardcore players explore on the most. They test and adjust their decks to find the best chances in game and make sure they always have the upper hand. In the end though, you get the cards you draw by chance and play them. I think this makes each game more exciting and not just a ho-hum experience where you're just too strong that none can beat you so why bother continuing.

That's about it for today. I hope you guys can try it out and add me if you manage to play each other. I'm Chuck Package in game. :D 

 I'll talk more about the game at another time as this game has a lot of stuff that excites me. Til then have fun.
