Gods Unchained Beginner Guide: Free Cards, Conquest and Your Collection

ByNFT Video Games Editorial Team

Gods Unchained is a trading card game in the classic TCG mould — and one of the few blockchain games where the free cards are actually enough to learn and compete. You can be in a ranked match ten minutes after downloading, wallet-free. Here’s the start-to-first-match path.

What it is#

A fantasy TCG where cards are the assets — play the free core set, then optionally collect tradable NFT cards on Immutable. Live status, platform and ownership facts are on the Gods Unchained registry profile.

Requirements#

  • The client — Windows or Mac download from the official portal, or the mobile app.
  • A Gods Unchained account — sign-up runs through Immutable Passport: Google, Apple, or email, no crypto knowledge needed.
  • A linked wallet — optional, for trading only — you can play everything free without one; linking a wallet is required to buy/sell cards, fuse in the Forge, and join reward mechanics like Weekend Ranked.

The free start#

  1. Create an account with Passport and download the client.
  2. Run the tutorial missions — they hand you preset decks and teach the flow.
  3. Use the free Welcome Set: 140 cards arranged as six 30-card starter decks (one per god domain), all editable. Take the Light or Nature starter into Solo mode against the AI first — they’re built around straightforward early-game play.
  4. From there, missions and daily play fill out your collection before you ever consider the marketplace.

Conquest, the new competitive mode#

Conquest launched July 16, 2026 and is now permanent: a paid-entry competitive mode where you field a constructed deck for a five-game run, with win count setting the reward — exclusive animated promo cards, emotes and god portraits that rotate monthly. It’s gated behind rank 10+, so it’s a next-step once you’ve learned the game on the free set, not a starting point. A monthly leaderboard tracks runs; the mode isn’t going anywhere, so there’s no pressure to rush it.

Your collection#

  • Core/free cards — account items, not tradable; enough to play meaningfully.
  • NFT cards — tradable on the Immutable marketplace and TokenTrove; bought with a linked wallet. Mint/fuse mechanics live in the Forge.
  • GODS — the ecosystem’s utility/governance token; described, not promoted, here.

What game NFTs actually do covers the ownership mechanics; the Immutable explainer covers Passport and the marketplace layer your wallet connects to.

Safety notes#

Download only from the official portal and link wallets only there. Marketplace “deals” in DMs are the standard scam pattern. Wallet and custody fundamentals are at NFTUniverse.
