Keyflower
Keyflower is a game for two to six players played over four rounds. Each round represents a season: spring, summer, autumn, and finally winter. Each player starts the game with a "home" tile and an initial team of eight workers, each of which is colored red, yellow, or blue. Workers of matching colors are used by the players to bid for tiles to add to their villages. Matching workers may alternatively be used to generate resources, skills and additional workers, not only from the player's own tiles, but also from the tiles in the other players' villages and from the new tiles being auctioned.
What is Keyflower
Keyflower is a game for two to six players played over four rounds. Each round represents a season: spring, summer, autumn, and finally winter. Each player starts the game with a "home" tile and an initial team of eight workers, each of which is colored red, yellow, or blue. Workers of matching colors are used by the players to bid for tiles to add to their villages. Matching workers may alternatively be used to generate resources, skills and additional workers, not only from the player's own tiles, but also from the tiles in the other players' villages and from the new tiles being auctioned.
In spring, summer and autumn, more workers will arrive on board the Keyflower and her sister boats, with some of these workers possessing skills in the working of the key resources of iron, stone and wood. In each of these seasons, village tiles are set out at random for auction. In the winter no new workers arrive and the players select the village tiles for auction from those they received at the beginning of the game. Each winter village tile offers VPs for certain combinations of resources, skills and workers. The player whose village and workers generate the most VPs wins the game.
Keyflower presents players with many different challenges and each game will be different due to the mix of village tiles that appear in that particular game. Throughout the game, players will need to be alert to the opportunities to best utilize their various resources, transport and upgrade capability, skills and workers.
Keyflower, a joint design between Richard Breese and Sebastian Bleasdale, is the seventh game in the "Key" series from R&D Games set in the medieval "Key" land.

Juego de losetas y colocación de trabajadores. En cada turno, los jugadores pujan por obtener ciertas losetas. La moneda para las pujas son los propios trabajadores. Una vez que se resuelven las pujas, las losetas te permiten construir tu ciudad, donde se generan recursos que cada uno tiene que desplazar a los sitios donde hagan falta para convertirlos en otros recursos, mejorar la loseta, etc. La enjundia del juego está en los combos que se pueden obtener combinando las losetas. Está muy bien. Escala estupendamente. Es interesante y jugable de 2 a 5 jugadores. Muy, pero que muy recomendable.
excelente , facilísimo de explicar pero con mucha estrategia. La variante en solitario es mas un puzle pero muy entretenida, falta probarla con la expansion the merchants y the farmers.Puntuación:94 en el básico :P
Is a different game. I like the mechanical. The design are not the best but is good game
Great game. Mean. Might drag a bit with more than 4 players.
Buen euro de gestión
Objectively i would rate it higher because the mechanics looks amazing on paper. And it is the only game I ever found that works well from 2 to 6 players. However, after playing it, i have to say that it has too many options for me, and the fact that other players can use your tiles makes it too difficult to ponderate the real worthiness of the tiles you are bidding for.
