Do not worry. Badgers is a simple game.

If you want to be app tester, we assume, you have followed the GoTester Instructions.

After you installed the app, you will more or less automatically do the following steps:

• Start app
• Choose the Google Account for playing
• Choose your in game nick and two colors (first the outer color of your badges, second the inner color)

Now you are guest. You can browse the map, but you cannot play yet. Now:

• Shortly after registering your account in the App: Check GMail for a passcode!
• If you do not use GMail, ask us for your code!
• Enter passcode in app. (The mail actually provides a link, which forwards the code into the app for you)

Now your account is fully activated. You can play.

• First and primary goal is to collect as many different badge types (Kinds of Badges)
• To move on the game map, move in the real world. This is a GPS based game.
• (Very) basic strategy I: Take all badges on the map, that you didn't put there yourself.
  • When a badge is within the black circle on the map, you can take it, by touching it.
• (Very) basic strategy II: Drop any duplicate badges you find in your inventory, i.e. keep one of every type.
  • To drop a badge, go to your inventory, chose a badge, find the button to drop the badge to the map yourself.
• Note, your badge_capacity is practically unlimited, only duplicates, i.e. several badges of the same type, take capacity.

So much for now, we'll try to add more on Strategy.
