Give a heart

Hearting costs 20 BG gold, but it's worth it! Games you heart will go on your profile game shelf which displays how many hearts you’ve given each game. You will also help boost the game's popularity.

The number of hearts you can give per day is 1 + 1 per Gamer level. (ie: a level 2 gamer can give 3 hearts out each day)

Track your plays

Tracking when you play games is a great way to show your experience with a game. Games you’ve played will be put on your profile shelf, along with showing how often you’ve played them.

Each day you can say you played up to 2 games + 1 additional game for every 2 Gamer levels. (ie: a level 2 Gamer can say they played 3 games each day)
