PLAYED FOR YOU

Keyflower The Farmers

AGRICULTURE AND HUSBANDRY

In the 7^th game of the “Key” series we have crossed the sea and are settling in new lands. You start with a home tile and some workers in three colors. In each season ships bring new workers or tiles and you chose a ship and its load, based on bids. With an innovative mechanism you use workers to bid for tiles to add to your village. Workers in the right colors generate resources, skills, additional workers and victory points from your own tiles as well as those in villages of other players and from tiles that are currently auctioned. After four seasons you score tiles in your village and gold counters.

Keyflower the Farmers expansion introduces agriculture and husbandry to the village. You acquire new farm buildings, plant wheat and breed animals - cows, sheep and pigs - on pastures. Those pastures are created by placing roads. Sheep are available beginning in spring, pigs from the start of summer and cattle from the onset of autumn. At the end of those seasons animals breed, but at the end of the game you score pastures with animals, not animal numbers, so you use transport possibilities to open up new pastures! Additional points come from dairy, truffle garden or weaver. Wheat lures animals to pastures, strengthens horses and enables additional transport distance. The starting player tile can, at the end of the game, be scored as an animal or wheat.

The Farmers is quite some challenge, especially as regards for pastures - you will have to plan the placement of your tiles including roads carefully and that takes time, as the graphics can pose a bit of a problem. Experienced Keyflower players will love the challenge.
