Battleground Games & Hobbies - Abington MAPull up a chair and get together with friends old and new to play Hearthstone at Battleground's first ever Hearthstone Fireside Gathering!
This event is for players of all ages and ability levels and will require absolutely no knowledge or minimum skill level. We're looking to attract local (or non-local) players interested in learning, chatting, laughing, and playing some Hearthstone. The more the merrier! We will have open, casual play all day and a Hearthstone "Conquest" (details
here and below) format tournament for those interested. All players that attend and participate will be offered the opportunity to add the new
Fireside Friends card back to their collection!
In addition to the Fireside Friends card back, we are also working with Blizzard in an effort to bring a Hearthstone Prize Kit to the event. The progress on the kit will be updated at a later time.
