Starting the Game

To play the game for the first time, you only need your usual browser (or the game client) and access to our website. You will also want to have perused the information about Origins so that you can buy the correct Starter Pack.

You will also need a HIVE account but we will create one for you for free, if necessary, when you buy your first starter pack which will provide you with an initial setup of a ship and crew.

Learn how to access your new HIVE account .

To begin to play you will:

  1. Proceed to our website.
  2. Log in.
  3. Buy a starter pack.
  4. Then click on “««< EVAC” in the upper right corner and select “launch a new Evacuation”.
  5. The game then asks what you want to play for this new game.

Origins

The very first thing that you do in EXODE is to select your Origin. This card is used as a thematic background for your new game. 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:

  1. the card has the versatile keyword (the equivalent to a neutral monster in Splinterlands), or
  2. you have added a Faction and the card is of that Faction (Note that some Origins may add Factions as they level-up.

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:

  1. Ark Scientist – Origin: Scientific (starter)
  2. Cruise Ship Captain – Origin: Civilian (boosters)
  3. Elected Leader – Origin: Civilian (starter)
  4. Navy Lieutenant – Origin: Military (starter)
  5. Repentant Pirate – Origin: Criminal (boosters)
  6. Secret Agent – Origin: Military (boosters)
  7. Stranded Trader – Origin: Civilian (boosters)

You’ll want to start your eXode experience by buying one of the three starter packs in the store.
