While there are many websites claiming to have cheat codes which give you free gold, gems, joy and other items, it is probably just a hoax. The game has a lot of purchasable items, so it is highly unlikely they will let someone offer them for free. At the very start of the game you should focus on obtaining following things (in this order): Level 5 character, Level 3 dice and Skill cards. Your starting cards should include: Dimensional Shift - it moves you to a random block, which can be quite useful; Rapid Growth - increases city level where you're standing by one; Haste - turn the next dice into Dice Double. If you want to combine cards, you need six of them. The best option to get higher cards is to take one of the highest you have (like level 3 or 4) and combine it with all other low level cards you have. This way you will preserve cards and get some higher ones (4 or 5). You might also want to use 100 gem combine to increase your chances of getting a five star card.
