Your first steps
Welcome to Binder!
Welcome to Binder! In a few minutes you'll have your first cards earning Coins for you. Follow these four steps.
Step 1: Open your first box
- Tap Store in the menu.
- You'll see a row of boxes. The lineup changes every 2 minutes. Rarer boxes cost more but hold stronger cards.
- Pick a box you can afford and tap Buy. It opens right away and you get one photocard.


Can't afford much yet? Start with the cheapest box. Every card earns something, and you'll upgrade soon.
Step 2: Put the card in your Binder
Cards only earn Coins while they're equipped (placed in a slot of your Binder).
- Tap Binders in the menu.
- Tap an empty slot and choose your new card. You start with 6 free slots.


Step 3: Collect your Coins
Every equipped card earns Coins every second. The number on a card is its CPS (Coins per second).
- Tap Home in the menu.
- Tap Collect on a card to move its Coins into your wallet. Your Coins show at the top of the screen.


Step 4: Repeat
- Buy more boxes until every slot is full.
- When you pull a stronger card, swap it in. Weaker cards can be recycled for Tickets (see "Tickets and recycling").
- Claim your free daily reward in the Calendar.
That's the loop: open boxes → equip your best cards → collect → repeat. The other guides explain each part in more detail.
