Buying 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 three pages of goodies. The first page has the three starter packs (Civilian, Military and Scientific) at $10 each.
A better deal, on the fourth page, is to get all three starters together for $20, reduced from $30.
The third page has booster packs currently at $3 apiece.
