Do not worry. Badgers is a simple game.
After you install the app, you will more or less automatically do the following steps:
- Start app
- Choose the Google Account to use for playing
- Choose your in game nick and two colours
Now you are guest. You can browse the map, but you cannot play yet. Now:
- Check your accounts GMail for a passcode
- Enter passcode in app.
Now your account is fully activated. You can play.
- First and primary goal is to collect as many different badge types (types_of_badges)
- When you move in the real world, you move on the game map.
- When you get close to a badge on the map, you can take it, pick it up, by touching it.
- (Very) basic strategy I: Take all badges on the map, that you haven't put there yourself.
- (Very) basic strategy II: Drop any duplicate badges you find in your inventory.
- Note, your badge_capacity is practically unlimit, only duplicates, i.e. several badges of the same type, take capacity.
After a while, go into details:
- Deliberately keep duplicate badges to trade them with other players.
- There is no need to actually meet other players, just drop and take stuff where your daily routine overlaps.
- After a few days of activity, weekly badges will appear in your playing area.
- By collecting level up gifts and by diamonds, you can aquire new skills and adapt your playing style.
