## Description
If you're already a regular resident of the Keyflower villages, grab your master builder hat! The 'Developer' expansion is here to add a spicy layer of strategy to your gaming table. But a quick heads-up: don't try to play this solo, okay? It's a direct supplement designed to be used with the base game.

The star of the show is the new 'Developer' village tile. This isn't just another pretty piece of cardboard; it introduces a scoring dynamic that will make you look at your board in a whole new way. The mechanic is simple yet elegant: the owner of this tile earns bonus points based on their surroundings. For every upgrade icon located on a tile adjacent to your Developer village, you score 2 points. And if you're feeling extra ambitious and manage to upgrade the Developer tile itself, that bonus jumps to 3 points per adjacent icon!

This shifts your entire mindset. Instead of just building whatever is most profitable at the moment, you start thinking: 'Is it worth placing my Developer next to that village I know is going to get a lot of upgrades?'. It's exactly the kind of strategic layer that turns a great game into something even more tactical and rewarding. It's all about positioning, foresight, and knowing how to capitalize on the opportunities created by your neighbors (or yourself) on the map. If you love the balance between resource management and spatial planning in Keyflower, Developer is the upgrade your collection needs to keep the engagement high!

## FAQ
### Can I play with only this expansion?
No way! It's a supplement and requires the Keyflower base game to work.

### What exactly does the Developer tile do?
It scores points based on the upgrade icons on adjacent tiles on the board.

### How much extra time does it add?
The impact on playtime is minimal, keeping the experience close to the original 90-120 minutes.

### Is it hard to learn?
Not at all; the rule is very straightforward and fits naturally into the Keyflower flow.

### How many players is it for?
It follows the same player count as the base game, from 2 to 6 players.

### Does it significantly increase complexity?
It adds a layer of spatial thinking, but it doesn't turn the game into a 'rule monster'.
