TLDR:

- Land will enable players to construct structures.

With those structures you can use harvested resources (from other land types) where monsters toil and trouble to build the next major gameplay expansion to Splinterlands which are: 

- Spells and Items 

Spells and Items will create a new gameplay mechanic were users can deploy a spell or item throughout the battle to change the outcome. The items will be NFTs just like each card, and they will only be minted by land holders. 

Resources will also be tradeable and have liquidity pools ... and did I mention - that only players with land will be able to generate resources, items and spells? 

If you want something more in depth than that, let me know.
