In Hearthstone the card back to be won in the February season is all about the Lunar Festival.
A new month has begun, which means in Hearthstone: a new card back will be up for grabs. Players simply need to climb to rank 20 in “Constructed” play. This sounds like a lot of work, but players start at rank 25 and must fight their way “down”. It’s relatively easy to get to rank 20 anyway, as you don’t lose stars upon a defeat.
The “Lunar New Year” is the Chinese New Year. It is celebrated in Asia and also in World of Warcraft at the end of January and the beginning of February. Certainly a nod to the Asian players. Hearthstone is supposedly incredibly popular there. But even across the rest of the globe, Blizzard’s card game is gaining popularity.
In a new alleged leak the number of 75 million players worldwide is circulating, though this has not been confirmed. The last official number before the release on Android tablets and the new expansion was 20 million registered players.
