Forget Farmville, play ‘Weeds’ on Facebook

Now you can add some much needed danger to your social gaming garden with a new Facebook game based on Showtime show Weeds.

The game has players selling weed to raise enough money to save your house, a la the Botwin family from the popular show. The game will not show you how to grow pot but it will feature a time clock tracking growing and selling duties and will bestow upon players all the trials and tribulations that the show’s main character, Nancy Botwin, faces (run-ins with the police, organized crime, taxes, etc.). You can interact with all other players around the world or limit gameplay to Facebook friends.

This isn’t the first social game to based on a TV show to come to Facebook: Gossip Girl launched a game in January, and Starz launched its new series, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, with a social game as well.
