Blizzard Entertainment is announcing several new developments for its hit digital card game Hearthstone today, including some big news for fans of the auto chess-inspired Battlegrounds mode.

Battlegrounds matches have eight players fighting against each other. Right now, you can join a match with a single friend, but that’s it. Starting September 8, you can arrange matches with up to seven of your friends, finally making it possible to play an entire round of Battlegrounds with your buddies or hold your own tournaments.
