Blizzard began rolling out its addictive collectible card battler Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft to Android tablets in some territories on Monday, with a worldwide release expected within the next few days.

Hearthstone is currently available for download in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Blizzard announced; the game has already been accessible on iPad, PC and Mac for some time.

Android tablet owners will be able to access all the game's content, including more than 100 cards from the latest Goblins vs. Gnomes expansion.

Hearthstone is a free game, though players use in-game currency or real money to buy card packs to improve their decks. It has remained on the top grossing list in Apple's App Store since its release in May, peaking at the third-highest grossing app and fourth-highest grossing game on Dec. 9, according to App Annie data.

Blizzard added that it is still working on a version of the game for smaller iOS and Android phones, but hasn't announced a release date.
