# Getting Started

With the general purpose of building a "Freemium" game, [**Monsterra**](https://monsterra.io/) lets players join the game with initial "Free" items.&#x20;

*Note: All of these items are NOT NFT items. Thus users do not have the possession right to any of them. Most of the action for a full game loop in Monsterra will be offered for free.*&#x20;

* Players will not have to spend tokens on purchasing free items but they can convert "Free" things to NFT items by spending **MSTR tokens**.&#x20;
* Players can have chances to earn token and "NFT items" from "Free" gameplay.&#x20;

The "free items" the players will receive when entering the game include:

* A land with basic structure including some kinds of plot: 1 core plot, 1 pasture plot, 1 breeding plot, 1 hatching plot, 1 storage food plot, 1 barrack plot and 1 defense plot.&#x20;
* 2 Soulcores.

## Collect more Mongens&#x20;

There are two primary ways to obtain more Mongens.&#x20;

* **Incubation:** Users can obtain a random Mongen by incubating a Mongen Soulcore in Land.&#x20;
* **Trading:** Users can buy Mongen from others by trading through the Auction marketplace.&#x20;

## Buy a new land&#x20;

Instead of building a land from scratch, players can buy a new Land on the **Monsterra NFT marketplace** or receive it from another player's transfer.
