Hearthstone’s 100th Tavern Brawl embodies entertaining chaos

Oh, Tavern Brawl. You mean so much more than a free pack every week.

Hearthstone has become a huge hit for Blizzard on PC and mobile, with more than 70 million registered players since its 2014 launch. The free-to-play digital card game has two sides: serious competition and “playing for the lolz.” Tavern Brawl is the epitome of the latter, giving players a fun mode that (usually) doesn’t cost any money or have chance to lower your ranks. Losses don’t matter, so you just relax and enjoy the mayhem. This week, Hearthstone is celebrating its 100th Tavern Brawl. The first one, An Evil Exchange, launched on March 23, 2016. Blizzard is calling the special 100th one “A Cavalcade of Brawls.” Each class plays with the rules of a former Tavern Brawl …. and then they have to compete against each other. This is chaotic, unfair, but fun.
