Just as Hearthstone acts as a simple introduction to card collection games, Battlegrounds manages to serve as a similar simple introduction to the auto battler genre. In a significant departure from other Hearthstone modes, Battlegrounds pits eight players against each other at a time, making matches more chaotic and moving play focus away from pre-planned strategy.
