Hey there...have you heard about HASHKINGS game? It's a virtual game where you get to grow weed and smoke it all up...lol.

Hashkings is an independently developed game and decentralized application (dApp) running on the STEEM blockchain. The project officially started in October 2018 on the Ethereum blockchain but migrated to STEEM in January 2019 in an effort to expand into a growing new platform

Basically what you do in the game is almost what you do real life(as concerns growing weed). You purchase a portion of land, in one of the 6 available locations on the Earth's surface( In the game), buy seeds, water your plants and watch it grow everyday.

Now you may ask me...If I grow my weed virtually, do I smoke virtually too?...My friend you can smoke your blunt however you wish, but you're going to be earning steem along the way. What you do with your steem is totally up to you.

In the real world, when a farmer plants his seed, after maturity, he can choose to blaze his products or sell it. Are we going to be selling virtual weed now too? Lets find out..

So I logged on to Hashkings with steem connect, you can also use keychain. And got myself a piece of land in Jamaica. Jamaica is one of the places on Earth with the most notorious weed, I guess it has something to do with their soil. I've heard a lot about Afghan weed too, lol, but I fear the land might not be as fertile as Jamaicans.

_{If you get here. scroll to the bottom of the page, where you'd find how many plots to purchase. I chose one for now, which cost me 20sp delegation.}

After purchasing the plot of land, I had to purchase a garden too for 0.5 steem. Not sure why I have to pay for garden on my plot.

The next thing to do is buy your seeds right?, so at the side panel, I located the seed shop, and the array of selection of seeds are very interesting, wish I could get a variety actually. So I ended up purchasing a seed called Kilimanjaro, its a really HIGH mountain afterall :D. It cost 3 steem because its a top shelf seed.

Then on to planting. The option is found also in the side panel titled Ganja Farm, clicking on it opens this window where you select the seed you have available for planting, and which plot you want to plant untop. After planting, then I clicked on "water your plant" and got it fired up for growth.

And voila I just planted my first seed both virtually and in reality. It will be interesting watching this baby grow.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

The user interface needs to be revamped to reach a wider adoption rate.
The game is still pretty much in dev stages as most of the options are still ''coming soon''.
This is the Url the dashboard page displays, which i very much have a problem with, why does the site URL not bear the name of the game.
So after all is said and done, what next? I guess users will like to know this.
Lastly what will happen if I pull my delegation? And I will like to have more information on how the rewards work.

I'm really interested in the potential the game has, as we all know the CAnna community is a very large one around the world, with legalization's happening from left and right, very soon canna usage will be more wide spread than ever before and people will start looking into canna entertainment as well, that's where this game falls into play. I'm interested in seeing where the game will go, and I'm stoked to plant my first weed virtually.

Here's what my dashboard looks like after setting up my garden and ready for growing.
