Mechanic Request

Howdy Dev Team,

Now, I know that game suggestions are leagues easier than game design, but I had an idea that I think would be a nice addition and not necessarily be super complicated for development.
So this comes from some of my friendly games being hard to play, Im a university student with a full schedule. And while I play the game a lot between classes, getting into a game with a friend isn’t always convenient. Since Hearthstone is a turn based game with no interaction on other player’s turns (aside from emotes), I believe that it could be a potentially cool option if you could play multiplayer Hearthstone with friends asynchronously, like chess. One player takes a turn and sends the game to their opponent, who does the same. You could play with friends, but wouldn’t require them to have the game open at the same time.
I understand again that this suggestion would still take a bit of time and money to implement, but its one of those quality of life things that I think a lot of players wouldn’t think about much until they got it, and then it would really improve the gameplay experience. So I just wanted to float it out there, even if nobody on the team reads this post. Thanks for the read, have a good one!

That’s a very cool idea

That would require a lot of programming for their server code, and that’s a tall order for the skill of their coders. They can’t even fix some obvious bugs for weeks.

It’s technically doable tough. The server would have to record the inputs and then pause (can’t be done client-only for both security and business reasons).
