The supply of mana is represented by (up to a maximum of 10), and attempts to draw For the game conclusion where neither player wins, see Draw Card draw is a term used to refer the process or mechanic of drawing additional cards from the top of the deck, and adding them a card Cards are the basic pieces that make up the game of Hearthstone. Each card represents an action that the player can take by playing that card. There are three main types of cards: spell cards, . The player is then free (but not forced) to take action, playing cards, using their Hero Power Anduin Wrynn with the basic priest Hero Power Lesser Heal A Hero Power is a special ability displayed to the right of each hero s portrait. Usually Hero Powers can be used once per turn and , and/or attacking with their minions Bloodfen Raptor, a simple minion card. A Beast-type minion, it has 3 Attack, 2 Health and a mana cost of 2. Minions are persistent creatures on the battlefield that will fight for their hero. Minion or hero A hero is a character in the Warcraft universe representing the player. In Hearthstone, this concept is expressed in three interrelated but distinct ways: Heroes are gameplay characters representing players or bosses within a match. . Once all possible actions have been taken, the "End Turn" button will light up, often accompanied by the "Job`s done" voiceover.
Each turn lasts a maximum of 75 seconds, at which point it will end automatically. Be that as it may, animations can cause the turn to last longer than 75 seconds. To compensate, when the start of the player`s turn is delayed, extra time is added to their turn to compensate. This time is known as the `slush`, and makes up the difference between when the player`s turn starts on the server and when it appears to start in the client. This time appears to take place at the end of the current turn, but is actually added to the start of the next turn. Be that as it may, the slush time does not always fully account for the entire length of the animations.

When around 20 seconds are remaining in the current turn, a burning rope fuse will appear across the centre of the battlefield The battlefield (or game board) is where the action takes place, representing the board on which each game is played out. Around the battlefield are various important UI elements, such as each player s hand, deck , illustrating the time remaining. Once the fuse has reached the "End Turn" button, the turn will end. Failing to take all desired actions before the rope burns down completely is known as "roping".
At the end of each turn, play is passed to the other player, and their next turn begins.
If a player takes no actions during their turn and the time limit expires, that player`s next turn will begin with an even faster burning fuse, giving them around 7 seconds to play. Be that as it may, as soon as the player takes any action, the fuse will disappear, and the player`s total turn time will be extended to the usual 75 seconds.

Notes
- Many triggered effects The lightning bolt icon, explicitly indicating a triggered effect Triggered effects are effects that activate in response to specific events. Triggered effects may belong to minions, weapons or spells (in the form of Secrets), as activate at the start or end of either the player`s turn, or each player`s turn. See Triggered effect#End of turn and Triggered effect#Start of turn for a list.
- Each game of Hearthstone has a limit of 89 turns. At the start of the 90th turn, both heroes will explode, and the game will end in a draw. This means that Player 1 has 45 complete turns (turn 1, 3, 5... 87, 89), while Player 2 has 44 complete turns (turn 2, 4, 6... 86, 88). Player 2 does not start turn 90, he will not draw a card nor will start of turn triggers happen. This limit is very rarely reached, due to fatigue The message displayed upon attempting to draw a card after reaching Fatigue. Fatigue is a game mechanic that deals increasing damage to players who have already drawn all of the cards in their deck, whenever damage.
- Neither the turn countdown timer nor the round counter are visible to players.
