WHAT IS GODS UNCHAINED?
Gods Unchained is a free-to-play tactical card game that gives players true ownership of their in-game items. Led by the former game director of Magic The Gathering: Arena, the game focuses on competitive play, which means players must strategically outsmart their opponents by building decks that are able to combat a wide variety of tactics. In Gods Unchained players completely own their digital items, giving them the freedom to trade, sell and use their cards any way they like – just like owning real, tangible cards.
1. Create a Gods Unchained account
This is the first step for any Gods Unchained journey. You can do so by clicking ‘Play now for free’ on the Gods Unchained homepage, signing up, and downloading the game.
2. Create / link a Coinbase account
Signing up to Coinbase is free and easy. Once you’ve signed up here (or if you already have one) you’ll need to link it to your Gods Unchained account through the Stay. Play. Get Paid. website. Simply click the “Create a Coinbase account” mission and follow the prompts.
To find your Coinbase address, navigate to ‘Settings’ in your Coinbase account > ‘Crypto Addresses’ > Select ‘Ethereum’ in the drop down menu > ‘Create New Address’. Once your Ethereum address appears, copy the most recent address and add it to the Stay. Play. Get Paid. page.
This action can take multiple days to verify. Once you have completed the below, this mission will sit on “Pending” until the account is verified by Coinbase.
Please note: you need to be in a Coinbase supported country to take part in this promotion. If you aren’t, you can always refer users who are, in order to gain ETH rewards (more on referrals below).
3. Link a wallet to your account
What use is treasure if you have nowhere to keep it? A wallet is like your treasure pouch, it’s a secure place to store all your digital items like cards and trinkets. The Coinbase account is where your reward will be sent, but this wallet is where you’ll store your in-game items. Setting up a wallet is simple. The most compatible wallet for Gods Unchained is found through MetaMask.
To set one up:
1. Head to metamask.io
2. Install the plug-in: Install the MetaMask extension for your chosen browser.
3. Create a wallet: Follow the prompts to “Create a Wallet”
4. Connect plug-in: Sign in to the Gods Unchained website. The MetaMask plug-in will then appear with a prompt to connect – click “Connect”.
5. Link wallet: Head to the Collections section of the Gods Unchained website and click the ‘Link Wallet’ button.
Fear not! Connecting and linking a wallet doesn’t give Gods Unchained or Immutable any control over your wallet or its items, it simply shows the game which items belong to you so you can play with and trade them in-game.

5. Build a custom deck in the Workshop
For those setting out on their first ever foray into the world of Gods Unchained, it’s best to find your feet using the prebuilt Welcome Set decks that all mortals start the game with. There’s one for each domain (War, Light, Nature, Deception, Magic & Death) but, once you get the hang of things, you’ll want to build your own deck in order to get ahead!
You’ll have enough cards to build a custom deck right from the get-go, and you can also unlock more cards as you level up in Ranked games to make that perfect creation.
All deck building is done in the Workshop. To find it, log into the game launcher, click the “Workshop” button at the top of launcher, and then click “Create a Deck”. Here, you can choose which god you’ll use to build a deck (each god has their own set of unique cards) and then choose 30 cards to make up your deck. Click “save deck” (and give it an epic name worthy of a heroic ballad) and you’re done! Having trouble? Need a more in-depth guide?
6. Play a Ranked game with a custom deck
You’ve built your custom deck (and named it something epic like “NATURE’S GONNA GETCHA”) so what now? Take the deck online, of course! In the “Arena” section of the launcher, head to the “Ranked” game mode panel and choose your custom deck by clicking on the visual of the cards, then click play.
7. Play 1 Ranked game on 5 different days
The best adventurers are brave, but what about your other virtues? This mission is all about endurance, and requires you to play at least one Ranked game a day. These don’t have to be consecutive days, nor do they have to be victories, so long as you’ve faced off against another mortal (that’s a player like you) in Ranked mode on 5 different days, you’ll succeed. Do you have the stamina?
8. Win 7 Ranked games
This final mission is the true test of one’s mettle. You’ve created your decks, you’ve trained for days, but do you have what it takes to win? True strength is not only in the cards, but the mortal behind them – and this final mission is a chance for you to rise above the challenge! These don’t have to be consecutive wins, so it doesn’t matter how many times you fall. It all comes down to whether you’re strong enough to get back up again and charge into the fray!
