Keyflower
Launched at Spiel '12, Keyflower was top of Fairplay magazine's rankings ("Scoutaktion") at the show. As far as I'm concerned, just the fact that it was co-designed by two of my favourite games designers makes Keyflower a must-buy.
The game is played over four rounds (the seasons of the year), each slightly different. Players must decide whether to use their worker pawns as bids for new buildings or as production workers on buildings – producing fresh resources and victory points. Managing your stock of workers is a crucial part of the game, it's only one part.
Keyflower is a fascinating, complex game that is very different every time you play. After being out of print for a while, the original edition is now available again, yay!
For 2-6 players, aged 12+, playing time 90-120 minutes: £40.00 (£33.33 without tax outside the UK)
