Released in 2014 by Blizzard Entertainment, Goblins vs Gnomes is the first expansion for the digital collectible card game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, available on PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. The expansion adds 143 new cards to the base game, 123 of which are collectible, all centered on a mechanical engineering theme drawn from the Warcraft universe's goblin and gnome factions. It introduces the Mech minion type as a new card category, broadening the range of deck-building strategies available to players. Beyond its card content, Goblins vs Gnomes also marks the debut of spectator mode, a feature that allows players to watch others' matches in real time. As a purely content-focused expansion to an existing tactical card game, it requires the base version of Hearthstone to play and represents a significant early expansion of the game's strategic depth and mechanical variety.
