Gods Unchained is a turn based competitive trading card game. Each match is a 1v1 battle against another player (or computer). The goal of the game is to reduce your opponent's life to zero. Players use their collection to build decks of cards, and select a God to play with at the start of each match. Decks contain exactly 30 cards.
It is free to play the game, with a core non-tradable set of cards to unlock, as well as access to the weekly free rotation. You cannot lose any cards by playing the game.

How to play?
The beginning
You have to download the app by godsunchained.com. Run it and than download the other update in the game. At the end you can start to play.
Card Types
In a game, each player takes turns to make their moves, first receiving mana (a regenerative resource) and drawing cards, and then using that mana to play those cards.
Cards can be creatures, spells, relics, or special God cards. Players also have access to a God Power, which can be used once per turn, except for Ultimates which can only be used once per game.
Using your cards
In the top left corner of each card is its mana cost. If the card is a creature, it will have yellow and green gems in the lower corners. The number on the yellow gem is its Attack , which shows how much damage it does when it attacks. The number on the green gem is creature's Health, which show how much damage it can take before it is destroyed, and enters the Void. Most creatures also have text on them which also defines special rules related to that card.
Spells and Relics
Cards which do not have yellow or green gems, are spells or relics. When a spell is played, its effect activates immediately.
Weapons are equipped by your God when the card is played. They allow your god to attack dealing the Attack damage, until the relic's durability is zero and it breaks.
Start a game
You can select between two playing mods: Solo or Ranked. If you are a novice you should to do some games in Solo to learn the various parts of the Gods Unchained.
GOD POWERS
At the start of a game in Gods Unchained, each player has a choice of God Powers. Each God has three regular and one Ultimate Power to choose from. The Ultimate Power is a single use ability with a powerful effect.
These powers help players to be more flexible when deck building. They also reduce the frustration of building decks specifically to counter an annoying deck in the meta (and never actually matching up against it). A selection of powers increases the depth of strategy per deck.
E.g. when playing a combo focused Magic deck, you could choose to adopt a defensive strategy and God Power if you match up against a War deck. Alternatively, if you were to match up against a Death opponent, you could shift to a more aggressive playstyle.
There's also mind game potential to building a deck outside of what your god excels at. You could make a War deck that's very slow and controlling, as opposed to their typical aggressive style. Your opponents might pick the wrong God Power for the match up, giving you the advantage.
VOID
In Gods Unchained, when a creature dies, it moves to the Void. This includes token creatures and creatures you discard. The only exemptions to this are creatures which are “Obliterated”.
Obliterated creatures have their very soul destroyed and are removed from the game. This is important to consider when facing off against some decks that use creatures in the Void to their advantage. Cards like Half Life and The Gatekeeper can allow creatures to cross back from the Void into the game, and give perceptive players the ability to throw a wrench in the works of their opponents plan.
Initial Hands and Mulligans
After choosing a god power, each player draws four cards. Either player can discard one or more of his cards and draw new ones to replace them, but this can only be done by each player once.
When this process is finished, each player draws an additional card, for a total of five. (Note: the designers have said this rule may change to something “fancier” before the game is out of beta)
Mana Cost
Each card costs mana to use, which is shown in the upper-left corner of the card. A player’s available mana starts at 1 on the first turn and increases by 1 each turn.
The amount of mana you have is shown in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Compared to Magic: The Gathering, there are no “land” cards in Gods Unchained and no “colors” of spells.
The only limit to playing a card is the amount of mana required to use it. This is to prevent “mana screw,” or the problem of a player losing just because he didn’t draw enough land.
Creatures
Some cards can be used to summon creatures. Like in other games, these creatures have summoning sickness when they first come into play. They cannot attack until the turn after they are summoned.
A player is not limited to only attacking his opponent. He can use his creatures to attack either his opponent or his opponent’s creatures. And if he chooses to attack his opponent, the opponent cannot “block.”
Hearthstone players will find this rule familiar, but Magic: The Gathering (MTG) players may find it confusing.
The goal of this rule though is to force players to enter combat on a regular basis, so as to clear the board. This should increase the pace of the game and reduce cognitive overload from “combat math.”
Winning matches and gaining experience
If you reduce your opponent’s life total to zero before yours goes to zero, you win. Winning a match earns you experience points. When your experience bar is filled, you will gain a new level and receive a new pack of Core Set cards as a reward.
The Deck
You can select a preset deck that rappresent each god in the game...or you can create yours, but isn't recommended at the start of the game.
