If you live in Australia, Canada, or New Zealand then you can now download Hearthstone from the Google Play store. World wide should be hitting sometime in the next few days.

As an added bonus, if you play Hearthstone on an Android device with your account you will be rewarded with a CLASSIC pack of cards (not Goblins vs. Gnomes). It’s been confirmed that even if you got your free pack from playing on the iPad version that you will also get one on Android so it’s not mobile specific. So if you have a friend with an Android device, see if they’ll let you borrow it for a few minutes so you can get your free pack.

For the devices supported you can check out here:

Hardware	6-inch screen or larger

The full announcement can be found here:

The Hearthstone Android tablet rollout begins! As part of the first phase of our Android launch, players in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand can now download Hearthstone for free on Google Play—and in the coming days, we’ll be fully rolling out Hearthstone worldwide on the Amazon Appstore for Android and Google Play.

You’ll have the complete Hearthstone experience at your fingertips, so get ready to engage in the mech-fueled antics of Goblins vs Gnomes and explore the haunted halls of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure on your little-green-robot-powered Android tablet.

But wait, there’s more! As an added bonus for giving Hearthstone a go on your Android tablet, you’ll earn a free pack of Classic cards. All you need to do to redeem your free pack of cards is play a game of Hearthstone in any mode on your Android tablet, and BAM, you’ll be busting open a new pack in no time. Win or lose, you’ll earn your free card pack just by enjoying a game of Hearthstone in Play, Arena, or Practice mode.

As always, your card collection and progress will be shared across all devices used to access your Hearthstone account, so everything will be waiting for you when you launch Hearthstone from your Android tablet.
