You know, for kids.

As far as licensed products go, I suppose pop-up books are no stranger than recipe books. The Hearthstone Pop-Up Book is an introduction to Blizzard's popular life-consuming hobby aimed at children who have yet to be exposed to its version of elves and their weird eyebrows. Here's some product description:

"Take your place alongside the nine major heroes, engage in a stunning arena battle, and enjoy a charming story told with the game's signature wit and whimsy. Unfold each page to reveal a spectacular central pop accompanied by booklets of smaller pops. The Hearthstone Pop-Up Book is a marvel of creativity and paper engineering—and a must-have for Hearthstone fans everywhere."

So now I know professional people in the biz call each section of a pop-up book "a pop", and it's never a bad day when you learn something new.

The Hearthstone Pop-Up Book is being published by Insight Editions, and will be out in November.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
