It has low risk ways to play, but the game itself needs margins to run, as well as to encourage people to play.

The general idea is you are staking 20 STEEM and sharing the voting rewards with everybody else caring for their plants. As people care for their plants their seed price is repaid... if you care for your plants you never have to buy more seeds. If you don't want to play anymore you can find a buyer for your land... or sell it back to us for 19.5 STEEM at any time. This means the cheapest way to play the game is to play for a grow cycle and then sell your land back when everything is 0. Before that you'll be exposed to up to 1.25 STEEM and after there should only be relative profit.

Can't we just delegate 20 sp and pay an extra 0.5 steem processing fee upfront? There is no way for us to be certain we will ever get that 19.5 steem back.

That would be a great suggestion in the Discord channel #hashkings-suggestions.

You are correct, and this can in fact be coded fairly easily. There are a lot of features we'll be adding and the whole project as well as the project's state is opensource. Thank you very much for this suggestion.
