Getting Started
Do not worry. Badgers is a simple game.
After you install the app, you will more or less automatically do the following steps:
- Start app
- Choose the Google Account to use for playing
- Choose your in game nick and two colours
Now you are guest. You can browse the map, but you cannot play yet. Now:
- Check your accounts GMail for a passcode
- Enter passcode in app.
Now your account is fully activated. You can play.
- First and primary goal is to collect as many different badge types (types_of_badges)
- When you move in the real world, you move on the game map.
- When you get close (within the black circle) to a badge on the map, you can take it, by touching it.
- Go to your inventory, chose a badge to find the button to drop the badge to the map yourself.
- (Very) basic strategy I: Take all badges on the map, that you didn't put there yourself.
- (Very) basic strategy II: Drop any duplicate badges you find in your inventory, i.e. keep one of every type.
- Note, your badge_capacity is practically unlimit, only duplicates, i.e. several badges of the same type, take capacity.
So much for now, we'll try to add more on Strategy.
