Hey everyone and welcome back to my Splinterlands blog, it's about time I'm going to make this post because whenever I can, I like to help, guide and advice new players in their Splinterlands journey, and many times I end up searching for explainer posts I made in the past about certain topics for them to read, this sometimes takes too much time because.. well... I made quite a lot of them over the years! 😅

When time passes, the game is evolving so some posts may be a bit out dated, especially when I mention card prices but in the core, the game is still the same so it's still mostly relevant.

So, in a way this post is really just for myself, and of course anyone else to send starting players to so they can read up on the topics they want to get explained. 🙂
Over time, posts like these just gets more and more to the back until no one is able to find them anymore.

Also, when you are a new player and want to have a topic explained I have not covered yet, let me know in the comments and I will write it down so I can cover it in the future! 🙂

I'll start with a post I made just yesterday for a starting player and then just put up links for every topic with a small description what the post is about. 😊
