The objective is to reduce the opponent's hero's health to zero by playing minion, spell, and weapon cards. The game is available on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android platforms and features cross-platform play.

Hearthstone's competitive structure is organized by Blizzard and has evolved multiple times since its inception. The current system is centered on a series of premier events that players can qualify for through consistent high-level play.
