Someone Made a Real Life Hearthstone Set

Someone Made a Real Life Hearthstone Set

Hearthstone is the biggest new digital card game from Blizzard, and for a while people thought it could only be played in the digital world. You see, Hearthstone has a lot of finicky mechanics, including cards that frequently change their health and attack, spawn minions, have status effects, and more. It’s just a bit more complex than your standard Magic: The Gathering game, enough to really warrant the digital user interface.

But that doesn’t mean that people haven’t been trying to reproduce the game in real physical cardboard. In fact, a team of counterfeiters in China have done just that. They have created a fully physical version of Hearthstone . A set costs 300 Chinese Yuan, approximately fifty dollars U.S., and includes four copies of every card in the game as well as several cards for tokens. The coolest thing about the game, however, is this interesting spinner that you can attack to the bottom of the card. The spinner keeps track of both status effects and attack and health adjustments. Honestly, we really wish something like this DID exist for magic.

For a mere fifty dollars, this is a pretty awesome reproduction of the game. Except, you know, it’s entirely written in Chinese… and it’s illegal. Still pretty cool though!
