The first week I would actually play
Clear solo battles for hourglasses before you spend gold. Switch packs from the home screen: booster, then Select other booster packs. Old sets stay openable. Build a 20-card list you can finish before you chase a crown rare.
The gameplay trailer above is the official one from 19 Sep 2024. Install links stay on the App Store and Google Play. There is no browser client.
FAQ
How many free packs per day?
Two, with one point returning every 12 hours. Premium can add a third pack. That third pack is Game8’s description of the pass.
What should I open?
Dual Fusion if you want the current set. Genetic Apex if you want the original ex cards. Both stay in the client.
