Getting Started

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 colors (first the outer color of you badge, second the inner color)

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 (within the black circle) to a badge on the map, you can take it, by touching it.
  • Go to your inventory, chose a badge to find the button to drop the badge to the map yourself.
  • (Very) basic strategy I: Take all badges on the map, that you didn't put there yourself.
  • (Very) basic strategy II: Drop any duplicate badges you find in your inventory, i.e. keep one of every type.
  • Note, your badge_capacity is practically unlimit, only duplicates, i.e. several badges of the same type, take capacity.

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