The plan is to grow bigger on hive and also give back to the blockchain the little way we can.

To give back the little way we can we decided to make sure everyone onboarded to hive through the hive community in my school don't just get on board but also stay and grow bigger and to grow bigger on the blockchain we decided to learn more about the blockchain game splinterland.

I'm making a post about this meetup to create awareness on the game and who knows somebody reading this can acquire knowledge and get an insight into the game splinterlands.


Splinterland is a type of game that deals with cards built on the blockchain hive where players trade online asset to earn rewards.

It is a game that requires strategy and how well you can arrange your cards.

in other to learn more about this game we decided to convey at a place called PAPIEES MEATRO where someone good at it in the person of @lemeonna to take us through what the game is all about.

The hive community in my school comprises of different students from different locations and so because of the far location only those close like @monioluwa  @chosenfingers  @manuel6   and @starstrings01 the convener was present.

The meeting was scheduled to start at 10am but then Lagos traffic won't allow me to get there early.

I got there late and could not start the meeting with them but then I was able to acquire knowledge of the important reason for the meet-up and I will like to share.

For every fight on splinterlands, there's a limited pull of mana that must not be exceeded.

 @lemeonna  also made mention of the usefulness of the numbers on the card

for example, the 3 in blue on this card here stands for the mana, The 2 in ash color stands for the number of damages the card can do and the two in blue color stands for the speed, the higher the speed the higher the card get to defend attacks
Then the number 3 the in love icon stands for the amount of damage the card can withstand
Then the last number one stands for the level of the card.

The meetup was to get an insight into the game and we did. To improve, it all about consistency Rome was not built in a day it one step at a time.
