## Description
Hey gamers! If you're already hooked on the auction and worker placement vibe of Keyflower, get ready for another dose of fun with the Keyflower: Boat 8 expansion. This little gem adds a new village tile, the Boat 8, which comes with two sides packed with potential to boost your strategies.

On Side A, the 'Boat 8a', the magic happens when you decide to upgrade an existing tile in your village. By doing so, you receive a bonus gold directly on the upgraded tile. Think about the possibilities for optimizing your gains and accelerating your economic engine! It's a cash injection that can make all the difference in the final stretch.

Side B, the 'Boat 8b', brings a strategic breather. At the end of each season – summer, autumn, and winter – you can perform a free action in your village, as if you had just placed a Keyple (meeple) there. And the best part: it doesn't matter if the tile is already occupied by another worker! This extra flexibility allows you to execute that crucial action you were planning or simply seize an unexpected opportunity without spending an extra Keyple. It's a helping hand that can turn the game in your favor.

Keyflower: Boat 8 is a small expansion, but it has a considerable impact, adding another layer of tactical and economic decisions to the already complex and addictive world of Keyflower. Perfect for those looking for more options and wanting to add that extra spice to their games with friends. Get your auctions and placements ready, because this expansion promises to heat up the board!
