Can Hearthstone really appeal to the casual gamers we want to play with? My wife, Jenna, is not a gamer, but she joins me on this episode to talk about what she thinks of the game so far and whether or not she’s interested in playing it.
Along the way, we help you learn how to introduce Hearthstone to your barely-a-gamer family and friends and convince them to play with you. Spoiler: Recording a podcast with them about it seems to be a very effective tactic!
