Ministry of Game: Packrat Game Basic

Here you go…

Packrat. What is it? Hmm, have you done cards collection before? Or collect a series of stickers in an album …Ah ha, you’ve got it. It’s an electronic version of the collection game, with a twist… since it’s electronic, you get to “steal”, combine cards to make new ones.

Aim of the game - is to collect items from different cards to complete a collection. When you first added the game you are given a 'pack' containing five different items. Each item is from a different 'collection' - for example collection series like 'Oh the Drama', 'Jump the shark' etc, it's differentiated by a icon at the corner of each packrat card. Once you have either a set of 5 of the same card, or 5 distinct items from the same collection, you can move them to your 'vault', where they're safe.

To get the cards that you need, either steal them from your friends collections, or buy them from the market.

Onward with the game…

Some quick and simple notes for new players of Packrat. Nay, I’m not going to write a bible about it, it’s learn as you play!

Step 1: Get 5 different items from the same series and learn how to vault. Don’t just swap and steal cards, you need to vault! You will receive a new card with each vault.

Step 2: Work towards opening up all the markets so you can buy items and be able to complete your set, least you get bored along the way. Some markets only open up at level 25 I think. (*I’m way above that to remember which level)

Step 3: Choose a set and start completing it. Work with a friend, a group of friends or anybody who can help so you can complete the set faster.

Step 4: Practice the locks to earn some credits. (Edited: 7 Dec 08, The new pack rat do not have locks anymore, there's now a protected area and a shared stash where your friends/rats can drop items for sharing.)

Step 5: You can get 250 credits daily if you login to the game. (per 24 hr)

Step 6: Sit back, relax and enjoy… or like some who did it, scold those who pretend to be cooperating when they are actually rats! Ha Ha...
