About the game
You know that one small detail that can shift your entire village strategy? Keyflower: Beekeeper is exactly that. Originally released to celebrate BoardGameGeek's 15th anniversary, this isn't a full game, but a single, special piece: the Beekeeper tile (or 'Bggkeeper', if you look closely!).

For those who already enjoy the village expansion dynamics of Keyflower, this tile adds a new layer of end-game scoring. The mechanic is simple yet powerful: it grants two points for every adjacent tile at the end of the game. In other words, strategic placement becomes even more critical, as you'll want to surround your beekeeper with as many buildings as possible to maximize your score.

Beyond its utility in the game, the tile has collectible value, featuring the Ernie icon, BGG's mascot, marking the connection with the world's largest board gaming community. It's the kind of micro-expansion that doesn't overhaul the basic rules but offers a new tactical objective for players. If you love optimizing every inch of your modular board and want to squeeze out every possible point, the Beekeeper is the perfect addition to your medieval tabletop.
