In Key Flower, each player starts with a "home" tile and an initial random team of workers. Matching colored workers are used to bid for tiles to add to a player's village, to upgrade tiles or to generate resources, skills or additional workers. Players not only use their own tiles, but can also use tiles from the other player's villages, or even the new tiles being auctioned.

During the first three rounds; spring, summer and autumn, more workers will arrive aboard the Key Flower and her sister boat, some skilled in the working of key resources. In winter, the final round, players will choose the village tiles for auction, each offering victory points for certain combinations or resources, skills and workers. The player whose village and workers generate the most victory points wins the game!

 So the way this game works is that each tile has got six sides right and depending on where you're sitting on the table, you'll have a side of the hex allocator. If you've got six players, every player is going to have a side of the hex allocated to them right, and you do this in like a logical manner. If you have got any kind of logic whatsoever. So first thing, you're going to do is you're going to set up the new season right, you're, going to set up the boats, we're going to stick a load of meeples on the boats right you're, going to set up the turn, all the tiles which you can Bid on in order to go first, second, third, fourth, in the next round, we'll draw new season tiles and in the winter bit of this select, which winter season tiles you're going to want to use from your hand right

 So you might have the fare, and this allows you to convert one red meatball into two green meeples. All you might have to store - and this converts one blue worker into one green worker. One thing about this is you can pay the relevant resources to upgrade atari and you flip it over, and then it becomes a more powerful version of the previous thing right. So if you have upgraded the hiring fare, it allows you to turn one tool in the free tools and likewise, if you upgrade the mason, then you can trade in one pickaxe for free gold right

 We generally like to talk a load of bollocks about tabletop gaming in general and in this video we're gon na be talking about a 2012 euro style tile line game. We'Re going to be talking about key flower and in this game, you'll be bidding on tiles, placing them into your village you'll, be using your tiles, or maybe your opponent's style, to give you victory points that will allow you to win the game. So in this video i'm going to be giving you a very brief overview of the rules, we tell you what we do like we don't like and then we'll come back and we'll say whether or not key flower is still worth your time with bother 10 years After it was first bloody released, it seems like it was released yesterday. So remember if you knew it

 You might end up gifting other people meeples right if they have the lucrative tile. So this makes the auction of the tiles that much more important you're going to have to make a decision as to whether or not it's going to be more beneficial for you to block your opponent or whether or not it's going to be more beneficial for you. Let them have that tile when you take something else. So the final thing that we like about key flat is that the bidding in turn order is a very, very important mechanism this, because it means that you get first dibs on the new tiles that are going to come out each season, but it also means you're

Keyflower Board Game Review - Still Worth It?

I also like the decision you just make to either run your engine or fight other people for new engibe parts or run someone elses engine but pay them for it.

You have direct conflict that can make or break a strategy but its not destructive so usually the loser in an interaction isnt as punished

Keyflower is my favorite game and when considering why, ive decided it comes down to the way different players interact.

 Since the winning bidder must discard their meeples, it's important that you don't overbid on tiles otherwise you will have less meeples to utilize when you reach the worker placement phase of the round.  After bidding, you then take actions with your remaining meeples by placing them on the tiles in your colony or in your opponent's colony. It's important to note that meeples placed in your opponent's colony DO NOT return to you at the end of the round. Instead your opponent claims them and may use them in subsequent turns

 The player who bids the most meeples gets to take that tile and then they place it in their colony. Also, the player who wins the tile must discard the workers they used to bid and the loser gets to keep their workers. Since the winning bidder must discard their meeples, it's important that you don't overbid on tiles otherwise you will have less meeples to utilize when you reach the worker placement phase of the round.  After bidding, you then take actions with your remaining meeples by placing them on the tiles in your colony or in your opponent's colony

 Because of this, it can be advantageous to acquire a tile that is highly sought after by other players as they will be more willing to place meeples in your colony.  These mechanisms really magnify the amount of player interaction that occurs in this game. It's perfect for players who enjoy Euro-style board games but can sometimes be turned off by how a lot of games isolate you from other players. You never feel like you're playing just against the game, rather you have a strong sense of direct conflict with your opponents

Build a Colony with Bidding and Worker Placement

 The person who has placed the most will win the bid now. The interesting and compelling thing is that every tile can only occupy one select color of meeple. So, if you're bidding, if you're playing vice versa, all across the board, if a tile's been established as green red yellow, it has to be that so there's this interesting inner play where i might put one yellow out there just to keep anyone else from putting any Of their other colors to start activating or escalating, if i know you have a pile of red behind your screen, maybe i cut you to the chase and just lock a tile out or if you get early access to green, which is an exclusive color that you Actually have to upgrade your meeples to get and you can start monopolizing certain tiles with green when other people don't have access to those meatballs so really interesting, limited pool worker placement interesting bidding mechanics where you're always able to kind of push and shift. What'S here in the marketplace, and then, alongside that, the scoring at the end of the game is really compelling as well you're, actually tile lane so you're building out a grid of rows

 So we have to play it anyways to cover it for our other series. We still need to do a few more plays for sure. I think at least a few two-player head-to-head and it's rated fairly well at four pounds, four and terribly at six, which means we need to get at least one experience at six. Is that how that works? No or we avoid that player count altogether, but i thought we'd do a quick first impressions, shelf or cell update, and this is for two reasons: one we're coming up on the 100th game

 Those are definitely um very powerful used in the right circumstances, especially if you pair them up with high movement tiles like this, i can move four, so i agree, i think more experience is needed. Good, we'll play continuing more. What do you think right now, we've played at three players yeah, i, like three players, um, i wouldn't mind going up to four. It was already going a bit slow at three players, though yep um there's there's a decent amount of like player lag

 Yeah yeah, when are you gon na ask for this at higher player counts? I want to see what it plays at i like the tiling mechanic. I always have like the highlighting mechanic. I like individual city building. I like the interplay between all the players over here where you can be mean and spiteful on the board

The Truth about KeyFlower - Shelf or Sell Review

After 5 years of saying **Scythe** is my favorite game, I think **Res Arcana** just took the top spot. This is largely because of the frequency that I'm able to play Res Arcana on Board Game Arena and since the teach is so simple, I'm more willing to show it to people. I haven't been able to host many Scythe sessions due to the pandemic and moving to a new town where it's hard to find gamers that would be interested in playing bigger games. Res Arcana just packs so many compelling decisions into such a small game. The strategy per square inch of cardstock is off the charts. I'm still finding new card synergies after 89 plays.

What's your new favorite game and why did it supplant your old favorite game?

What game has taken your #1 spot from your previously favorite game?

 If workers get kicked off a losing bid, they can be put to work in a village somewhere, unless everything that player could actually use already has workers on it, and they don't have enough to raise a bid on a different tile. Experienced players are going to want to maximize their actions, so expect some AP when their present situation is pretty useless. This happens a lot.  So why bother winning bids for tiles? Because the tiles are worth points, and you can upgrade them for more points if you can transport the right combination of resources to them, and maybe get bonus points at the endgame

.. if you win a bid for a tile that actually helps.  Most of the mechanics in this game are ones that I enjoy in other games, but combined together here with everything connected to the "unique" bidding at the start of each round, makes this a really tedious experience to play, and offers very little "look at the cool village I built" satisfaction, even when I win

. which you won by outbidding everyone else for the right to put into your own village, but other players can still use it anyway.

Brilliantly simulates boats full of workers arriving at a prison colony

 Well, the house screens are cool, but the engineering on them is a little bit. Dodgy. They're meant to lock in the corners by these really literally paper-thin chimneys that you stick down in slots to prevent them from opening and they're kind of rolly polly and a little bit tumbly and they could flip over accidentally.

 And it's a little tough to get people's minds around the idea that you can place meeples on other people's farms and use their upgrade tiles to upgrade your stuff.. Maybe a good analogy is that it's like an Amish barn, raising and you're, calling your neighbors over to help you flip your tiles over and make them better. I don't know

 Instead of bidding, you can place a meeple on the center of that tile.. But again, if it's locked to a certain colour or certain currency, you either lock it to that currency by playing the first meeple there or you have to abide by that locked currency by playing a meeple or more meeples that match that colour. Huh

 You lead off with THREE meeples on the tile., So nobody can place four, because that would make it over six.. That would put seven meeples on the tile

Is Keyflower fun?

**1 x 3p Keyflower** I really enjoyed this again but played poorly. It's so easy to have your plans derailed by playing your own game and not anticipating your tiles or actions being sniped.

What Did You Play This Week? - (February 15, 2021)

. and how.  There is a ton of interactivity and competition and one player can easily foul another's plans. Scoring conditions aren't revealed until mid game which can make long-term planning a tricky feat

  If you're going to be able to put off by other players being able to reach into your stuff and generate "Feel Bad" moments avoid this game, it does that a ton.

  There is a ton of interactivity and competition and one player can easily foul another's plans. Scoring conditions aren't revealed until mid game which can make long-term planning a tricky feat. The end result is incredibly cut-throat. Thematically this game is nothing but artisans and resource collection, but it feels like it has more conflict than some war games! If you want a interactive, bidding experience than can feel like a real Economic war go for this

Cutthroat, Competitive. Not for everyone.

 So we go from spring to summer and they're going to be seven tiles in a three-player game, oriented in the same way and of course, you'll see that the abilities get better. On the tiles as you go so you'll be able to generate special workers, for example in this store here, there will be more tiles, of course, but I could place a worker on here then throw away a blue worker and get a green worker. Now green workers are special because they aren't one of the main currencies of the game when you bid with them they're hard to outbid because they're a rare commodity and anybody that has green workers will have an advantage because placing them out means the other players have To bid in green workers, and if they don't have them, they simply can't outbid you or use the tile that you've already placed on a good commodity to have. In addition, at the beginning of the next round, as well you're going to take a look at these tiles here and you're going to see if any of them flip over, they have markers on them for the seasons

 In addition to this you're going to have to bid on these tiles and see who wins, these tiles and the winner of these tiles is going to get their choice of the first boat that's available over here on the side. You'Ll see these boats have workers on them, as well as some skill tiles, and it tells you on these tiles how many to place there. They have their choice of the boat and they can choose which one they want. First and they're going to get all of the workers from that, as well as the skill, tiles and place them into the supply

 Now, all of the tiles do different things. You'Ll see that there are these seven tiles available in the first round of the game, and some of them are going to be more transport tiles, allowing you to move resources from one tile to the next along these roads. You'Ll see there are roads on them. In this three different directions and your home tile has five roads on it

 I probably wouldn't take black because I probably want to upgrade my home tile eventually, so maybe I take one of these grey resources and I place it there. This now is a blue tile, and anybody that wants to bid for it is going to have to bid with blue workers. So you'll see that once the tiles either been bid for it can be activated with a blue worker once its bid for the blue worker or if it's been activated, it has to be bid for with blue workers, and this is going to work one way or The other so always once a tile has a worker on it or next to it. You have to use that same color worker, so people are going to go around the table either bidding on these tiles, using their workers or activating the tiles by placing workers on them
