Redditor Citrinate has provided an outlined set of instructions on how you can simultaneously play two or more games of Hearthstone using one device. The first thing to be done is download and install Sandboxie which has a free and a paid version. The former will only allow two plays to be done at the same time, instead of three which is essential for the "Fireside Friends" cardback opportunity. Check out the instructions below:
1. Download and install Sandboxie
2. Next, open "Sandboxie Control", as there should be a sandbox in there named "DefaultBox". If there isn't any, you can go to "Sandbox > Create New Sandbox"
3. You then right click on that sandbox and select "Sandbox Setting"
4. Just under "Restrictions", you then go to "Drop Rights" and make sure that the box labeled as "Drop rights from Administrators and Power Users groups" is unchecked
5. Then, under "Resource Access", you should go to "File Access < Direct Access" so that you can add the install folders for both the Battle.net Desktop App and Hearthstone
6. Navigate to the Battle.net Desktop App install folder wherein you should create a shortcut to "Battle.net.exe" and put it on your Desktop
7. Navigate to your Hearthstone install folder, create a shortcut to "Hearthstone.exe", and place it on your Desktop
8.Right click on the Hearthstone shortcut you just created, go to properties, and at the end of the "Target" field add " -launch"
If you have the paid version of sandboxie, you can create any number of additional sandboxes, 1 for each instance of the game you're going to be running.
Running the Battle.net Desktop App in a sandbox:
1. If you have Hearthstone or the Battle.net Desktop App running, close them
2. Right click on the Battle.net Desktop App shortcut you created earlier, select "Run Sandboxed", select the sandbox you used in the setup process above, and click OK
3. If it signed you into your main account, log off and sign into your alt account
4. If you created multiple sandboxes, repeat steps 2 and 3, selecting a different sandbox each time
5. Run the Battle.net Desktop App as you would normally (unsandboxed), and log into your main account
Running Hearthstone in a sandbox:
1. Run Hearthstone as you would normally (unsandboxed), on your main Battle.net account
2. Right click on the Hearthstone shortcut you created earlier, select "Run Sandboxed", select the sandbox you used in the setup process above, and click OK.
If Hearthstone freezes for a few seconds and then shows this error: Closed, Oops! Playful sprites have disrupted Heartstone as it was linking up to the Battle.net service. Please wait a few minutes for them to disperse and try re-launching the game.
Then follow these additional steps before trying again
2.1 With the unsandboxed instance of Hearthstone still running on your main account, go to the sandboxed Battle.net Desktop App for the account you're trying to run Hearthstone under.
2.2 Change the region for Hearthstone to something other than the one you intend to play on, and click "PLAY". You should get the error message:
Two conflicting actions have occurred. Please wait a few minutes and try again.
2.3 Change the region for Hearthstone back to the one you want to play on and again click "PLAY". You should get the same error message again
3. If you created multiple sandboxes, repeat step 2, selecting a different sandbox each time<source>
