Pre-Release Is Back for Rastakhan’s Rumble - And Rowdier Than Ever!
Open packs early by attending a pre-release party prior to the full release date on December 4!
Quote from BlizzardOpen your packs early and revel in some Fireside fun prior to the official launch of Rastakhan’s Rumble on December 4 by hosting your very own Pre-Release party!
King Rastakhan has decreed that Pre-Release Parties will not be limited events. Whether you’re an established innkeeper or you simply enjoy the company of your community, step up to the plate and host a public Pre-Release party. If you prefer the comforts of home, you can also enjoy the festivities by creating an unlisted event!
Rastakhan’s Rumble Pre-Release
In addition to digging into your packs early, you’ll also be able to participate in special Fireside Brawls that let you play with your shiny new cards before the expansion’s official release.
- In Rastakhan’s No Cards Barred brawl, you’ll be able to construct decks using the cards that you open during the Pre-Release event. There are no restrictions on class or duplicates in this one, so you can harness all the mayhem of the Gurubashi Arena!
- There’s also A Royal Recipe, a pre-constructed brawl that will have new deck recipes from the upcoming set for you to play with! You won’t need to have pre-purchased packs in order to play this brawl.
Maximize your Fireside Gathering experience by pre-purchasing your card packs for Rastakhan’s Rumble so you can enjoy both Pre-Release brawls!
Your newly-opened cards will be viewable in the Collection Manager, but they’ll only be playable at a Fireside Gathering prior to launch. You also won’t be able to disenchant or craft cards until the expansion’s official launch.
Host A Rastakhan’s Rumble Pre-Release Party
Kick things off by heading over to FiresideGatherings.com. Be sure to indicate if your event will be open to the public, or unlisted for just close friends and family. If you opted for a public event, hang tight while we process your admittance to the royal rumble registry! For those of you who want to host private Fireside Gatherings, detailed instructions are available here.
Once your event is approved, you can do any or all of the following:
- Share your event on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) with our nifty poster generator. If your event is private, download the poster and send it directly to friends you want to invite!
- Reach out to your local community to let them know
- Pre-purchase cards to maximize your Pre-Release experience
- Make sure you have enough chairs by the hearth (or seats in the Arena)!
- Enjoy the Rumble!
We can’t wait for you to try out the new cards, so look for a Pre-Release event closest to you and start rumbling. We’ll see you in the Tavern!
So, the post claims that I could also "enjoy the festivities by creating an unlisted event". However, when going to the Fireside gatherings page, the corresponding campaign can't be selected once I check "This is an unlisted event".
An Italian pizzeria. In Naples, preferrably ;)
The complete and utterly irony of this is unbelievable.
blizzard wants to pin down their popular lucrative mobile game to a specific physical place.
and yet, think it’s a brilliant idea to turn the diablo franchise into a mobile game.
this company has lost touch completely lmao
Well, that's obviously false -- they're making a mobile game, not transforming the franchise or changing its focus away from PC -- and you know it, so you've lost touch with basic principles like honesty.
Can you participate in the early pack openings if you host an unlisted event? Or are unlisted events only limited to the new tavern brawls?

I attended one of these events for Boomsday and it was a lot of fun :) I encourage you to try it out, if it is close to where you live. Cool experience to get to figure out some cards and/or decks before anyone else :)
At least... pre-release brawl for boomsday was 1month after release. Gratz blizz, you used your brains :P
You missunderstood. Those are "Fireside" Brawls, only available on fireside gatherings.
That was already a thing for Boomsday a week or so before release.
So maybe it was witchwood brawl... But yeah, my bad, sorry and thanks for explanation
The no cards barred brawl sounds like so much fun
I still miss the warlock hero, maybe is a good opportunity
That giant frog, is the shaman Loa.
Have respect
No WhizzBang this time. PepeHands
Oh wait. The Royal mode allows to play receipt deck? FeelsAmazingMan
Anyone wanna play chess or some corn hole?
Milk what, getting people together to play irl? The devious bastards!....
you can say what you want, but this time they made the correct decision.
The prerelease is open to anyone, which will garner a lot more interest. I for one am actually kind of thinking about joining it, while previously it was just that much of a hassle.
It also makes buying the bundle far more important - after all, one of the events is restricted to those, that have done it. And that events looks like quite a lot fun. It is, more or less, a sealed kind of event, just that much crazier. It will surely boost the amount of sales.
I am not saying, that they are milking, though, since it is all optional. But what they did, is, to increase the interest by a lot... You have to admit, the marketing team knew what they were doing this time.
He did raps for a couple expansions so it wasn't just a one time thing.
