Hearthstone Battlegrounds Trinkets explained

In Hearthstone Battlegrounds, Trinkets function as additional powers that you can acquire using gold. Once obtained, they remain active throughout the game, providing benefits similar to Quest Rewards.

As a gamer, I come across these special items, or trinkets, at specific points in the game – specifically, on turns six and nine. Four different choices are available for me to pick from, making each encounter exciting and strategic.
