I started about 9 months ago. Stop like a month in the early stages of game play. What helped me at the beginning was I invested a ton in purchasing booster packs and getting the millionaire Starbits card. In total spent around 300 hives in the beginning. The daily 10k Starbits goes a long way with owning the millionaire card but I know its a lot of capital for an average user. I suggest entering as many giveaways you can to collect cards and build on that. Good luck !LUV and !PIZZA
