Keyflower is a hybrid between worker-placement, bidding, and action selection. All players start the game with a hidden, random assortment of 8 meeples (varying between red, blue, and yellow) and a single tile. The tile is the start of each player's town, and one of many tiles that drive all of the game's interaction. The goal of the game is to acquire various tiles and to intelligently activate them over the course of four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter) to create the most valuable town.
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.
