We started playing the Game Gardens of Time on Facebook more then 2 years ago. Having seen Treasure Island to its timely end and tried many others for a time, we concentrated on the game in part because of its designation of the 2011 online game of the year.
The game has you build a garden that is historical and supervised by A Gardens of Time Society. Starting with Ancient Egypt it allows for various themes ancient to current. You may play for points or enjoyment of the cultural and esthetic value or both.
Like the practice of some First Nations to leave out a bead from art work to communicate that nothing is perfect the gardens program has some out of place objects in the locating hunt themes that get you coin to buy garden structures.
The engagement of distant relatives and new unknown social contacts was broadening experience , The game is fun and socially,historically and geographically reenforcing.
We spend no money to level 100.
