Hearthstone

Hearthstone is a collectible card game that goes around turn-based matches between two players， operated through Blizzards Battle.net. Players start the game with basic cards， but can gain rarer and more powerful cards through buying packs of cards， or as pay for competing in the Arena. Players can also disenchant unwanted cards， destroying them in exchange for arcane dust， a resource which can be used to create new cards. Card packs and entry to the Arena can be bought with gold， the in-game money rewarded for completing randomized daily quests and winning matches， or by using real money in the in-game store.

《炉石传说》是一个通过暴雪战网操作，在两个对手间围绕回合制比赛的卡牌收集游戏。玩家用基础卡开始游戏，但可以通过购买卡包或者在竞技场竞争得来的奖励获得更罕见和强大的卡。玩家还可以分解多余的卡，摧毁它们来交换奥术之尘——一种可以用来创造新卡的资源。可用金币来购买卡包及加入竞技场，而这种游戏货币也可通过完成随机日常任务或打赢比赛奖励获得，或者拿真实钱币前往游戏商店购买。

Cards are the main substance of Hearthstone， representing the abilities， characters and effects which each player is able to make use of during the match. There are 535 collectible cards in the game now， with more planned to be added in the future through additional expansion packs and adventure mode. The first adventure mode， Curse of Naxxramas， added 30 cards. The first expansion， Goblins vs Gnomes （GvG）， added 123 cards.

卡牌是《炉石传说》的主要内容，每个玩家都可以在比赛中运用卡牌所代表的能力、特点和作用。目前游戏中有535张可收集卡牌，并计划在未来通过额外的扩展包和冒险模式增加卡牌。第一个冒险模式计划“纳克萨玛斯的诅咒”增加30张卡牌。第一个扩展包“地精和朱儒（GVG）”增加123张卡牌。

In normal game modes， the player begins to fight using a deck of 30 cards，made from cards in the players collection. Each deck can only feature two of each card， and only one of each legendary card. Legendary cards are the rarest cards in Hearthstone and are based on special characters that played an important role within the World of Warcraft. When summoned， Legendary cards will play a special animation or sound. Arena play has no such limitations， but requires players to play using a new deck chosen from a series of randomly provided selections. For either type of deck， the construction of a players deck is a key strategic element in the game.

在標准游戏模式中，玩家将用自己收集的卡牌构造出30张牌的卡组来战斗。每个卡组只能拥有两个相同的卡和一个相同的传说卡。传说卡是《炉石传说》中的稀有卡，以在《魔兽世界》中发挥了重要作用的特殊角色为基础。当召唤传说卡时，将播放特殊的动画或发出声音。竞技场中则没有这样的限制，但要求玩家从随机提供的选项中选择新卡组来参与。对于任何类型的卡组来说，玩家卡组的构造都是游戏中的一个关键战略要素。
