-===== Starting the Game =====
-If you're ready to start, head on over to https://exodegame.com/ and dive right in!
-==== Origins ====
- The very first thing that you do in EXODE is to select your Origin.  As Elindos said in the manifesto, Origins are “like character classes” -- except that they apply to your entire group.  Or your Origin card is like your summoner in Splinterlands.  You can’t use cards not of your Origin unless:
-  - the card has the versatile keyword (the equivalent to a neutral monster in Splinterlands), or
-  - you have added a Faction and the card is of that Faction.
-There are four Origin Types (Civilian, Criminal, Military, Scientific) and seven Origin Cards (three found in Starter Packs and four in Boosters).  The Origin Cards are as follows:
-  - Ark Scientist – Origin: Scientific (starter)
-  -     Cruise Ship Captain – Origin: Civilian (boosters)
-  -     Elected Leader – Origin: Civilian (starter)
-  -     Navy Lieutenant – Origin: Military (starter)
-  -     Repentant Pirate – Origin: Criminal (boosters)
-  -     Secret Agent – Origin: Military (boosters)
-  -     Stranded Trader – Origin: Civilian (boosters)
-You’ll want to start your eXode experience by buying one of the three starter packs in the store.

-==== Starter Packs ====
-Buy Packs links appear at the bottom and in the upper right corner of the initial screen at https://exodegame.com.  Clicking on either of them will bring up the shop.  It is important to note that the shop has seven pages of goodies.  The first page has the three starter packs, currently reduced to $8 from $10.  A better deal is to get all three starters together for $15, reduced from $20.  The third page has booster packs currently at $2 apiece.  The fourth page has limited time support items: two different escorts and a bunch of colonization essentials.  Each is currently $15 reduced from $20.  The next two pages are contracts.  Contracts give you weekly card drops forever!  They are clearly the best deal in the game and will not be sold by the shop for much longer (though players will be able to sell theirs for what are likely to be exorbitantly soaring prices).  The last page has two special robotic crew members currently available for $25, down from $30.  Prices will rise to their final values shortly and everything except the starter packs and the boosters will be unavailable two weeks after that.  If you are going to invest heavily in the game, now is the time!
