Hop aboard virtual farmers! Sunflower Land is a blockchain NFT farming game where you plant seeds, grow, and then harvest them to buy more seeds. Not only that, you can also cook food, produce tools, domesticate animals, and other exciting activities, completing your digital farming experience. 

If you’re looking for a casual farm game while earning on the side, Sunflower Land is the NFT game for you. In this article, we will help you learn how to play this game and build your magnificent farming empire.

What is Sunflower Land? 

In Sunflower Land, you will assume the role of a farmer whose main goal is to develop a farm filled with plants, animals, and other resources. You cannot be a farmer without a land and in this game, lands are digital Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) that you can purchase in a Web3 or Metamask Wallet. The process of purchasing and creating your NFT land is also known as minting. Note that minting your SL Land requires that you have some $MATIC token in your portfolio.

Once you have your land minted, you will receive your free NFT Bumpkin or in-game character. You also need to mint this Bumpkin so that it will be officially yours. 

The official NFT in-game token of Sunflower Land is SFL. You need SFL to buy seeds, tools, buildings, and animals. It is also the currency you need to expand your farm by acquiring more lands. 

Every item in Sunflower Land are NFTs of the Polygon blockchain. You can withdraw them and send them to your digital wallet. 

How to play Sunflower Land?

With its intuitive and user-friendly game mechanics, we believe that Sunflower Land is one of the easiest NFT game out there. Unlike popular blockchain games such as Axie Infinity: Origin, Splinterlands, and MIR M, this game is not that competitive, giving players an opportunity to just unwind and play casually.

Sunflower Land’s gameplay revolves around three major goals:

• Earning SFL
• Increasing your Bumpkin Level
• Expanding your land 

Let us talk each goal in-depth below:

1. Earn SFL

Again, SFL is the in-game currency. The more SFL you have, the more items you can purchase and the better you can expand your land. To earn SFL, you need to harvest your crops first. Then you sell them in the game’s Market to have some SFL. To earn more SFL, use the proceeds of your sale to buy more seeds and then plant them. Wait for these plants to grow until they are ready to harvest.

However, SFL is not only for buying seeds. You can also use them to buy food to eat. You might be wondering why you need to buy food in this game. The answer is that its required to increase your Bumpkin’s level which we will discuss in the next section.

2. Increasing your Bumpkin Level

The higher your Bumpkin’s level is, the better will be your SFL earning potential. You cannot advance in the game if your Bumpkin is not progressing in level. To increase your Bumpkin’s level, you need to feed it.

You can purchase food using your earned SFL from selling your crops. Thus, you need to be wise whether you will use your SFL to buy seeds or foods to keep you at pace in the game.

Note that your first Bumpkin is free but every bumpkin that you will acquire after that will cost $5.

3. Expanding your Land

If you want to have more in-game assets or NFT, you need to expand your land. At the game’s beginning, you are entitled to three plots of land. You need to meet specific requirements so that you can purchase more lands. Each land contains random specific resources, some have gold while some have trees only. Note that every additional land is an NFT attached to your farm.

Wood is important in land expansion which you can acquire by chopping trees. For this task, having a tool is necessary. A workbench is needed to craft your tools which you can acquire once your Bumpkin reaches level 3. Different combinations of resources are required to craft tools. For instance, an axe that cuts wood needs SFL and wood.

What are the crops in Sunflower Land?

Since farming crops is the heart of this NFT game, here’s the list of all crops in Sunflower Land and their expected time to harvest.

• Fire Pit
• Kitchen
• Bakery

In the start, you will have a Firepit where you can cook your food. However, if you want to provide more XP for your Bumpkin you need to upgrade your Firepit to the succeeding types of buildings.

How to gather resources in Sunflower Land?

You need tools to gather resources for your land. There are specific types of tools required so you can gather a particular type of resource. For instance, if you want to get a gold rock, you need an Iron Pickaxe.

Here’s a list of all tools in Sunflower land and what resources they can collect:
