What this is
In Keyflower, players compete in a unique auction system to build the most prosperous village. 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 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.
