To play the game you need your usual browser (or game client) and access our website and you will need a HIVE account that we will create for you for free with your first purchase. Learn how to access your new HIVE account .

Then you will need:

2. To log in and click on “new game”.
3. The game then asks what you want to play for this new game.

At this point you must choose 1 “Origin” card.

This card is used as a thematic background for your new game.

It provides an initial setup with a defined ship and a random crew. For instance, you could be a Cruise Captain, a Navy Officer, a Scientist, a Rebel Fighter…

There also are many cards you may use if you want to spice up and power up your game. Ship cards, crew cards, permits… there are many such cards called Launch Assets.

Most launch assets are also Permanent Assets: this means you don't lose them when you play them.

If you use them they will just be locked to your current game. They will become free again when the game ends!

How long does a game last, would you ask?

A game of eXode does not have any fixed duration. But it notably ends when you lose or abandon your colony.

You get rewards during the game ; you get rewards at the end of every season ; as long as your game lasts and your colony survives.

Also, the longer you survive, the more the rewards you get at the end of the game.

When you end the game (with your colony destroyed by aliens for instance) you get some loot: these cards are called Legacy Rewards and are part of a unique loot table related to your starting Origin and launch cards.

There is a lot to share about Legacy Reward (more information here).
