Growing seeds in greenhouses is too much work for too little effect.

Complaint

For something that takes up an entire inventory page, seeds just don't do enough, especially for the work you have to put in. The whole planting mechanic is problematic:

Another aspect of DKs is the choice to play it. Changing the hero power can get massive value over several turns, so if there's no incentive to wait to play the card, this removes interesting play surrounding the DK.

Another aspect to consider is counterplay. How

Question for my situation

I'm going on a cruise for a few days, and I wanted my friend to take over for a few turns. Is there some easy way to do it without giving him my google account?
