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 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!
