Opening card packs
To try your luck by opening ZoA NFT card packs, you’ll first need to buy one on the marketplace in the INO section, unless you’ve already received one as promotional reward.

For this testnet launched, we have already gifted you a card pack! So follow these instructions to open it.

First, go to the Dashboard section. All of your assets will be here under the Boxes section.
From here, click on the box icon to begin opening them.
If you’re curious about what NFTs you can pull from your pack, click on the “Available Items” section to see what they can contain.
To start opening, specify the number of boxes you want to open at a time (maximum 5) and click the “Open Box” button and confirm the transaction.

Here you’ll find that your inventory is divided into two sections: on the left is your crypto wallet inventory, and on the right is the inventory connected to your game profile.
In order to move an asset, click on that asset. This will bring up the interface below.
To move an asset into the game, choose which assets you want to move and click the ‘Transfer to game inventory’ button.
