Hey board game fans! Ready to level up your Keyflower experience? Introducing the Pig Shelter, an expansion that brings more pigs to your farm and, of course, more points at the end of the game! If you enjoyed the Sheep Shelter from The Farmers expansion, you'll feel right at home here. This new village tile adds an extra layer of strategy, allowing you to allocate your newly acquired pigs to the new shelter. Each well-placed pig can yield a good score at the end of the game, so keep an eye on how to optimize this space.
The Pig Shelter doesn't reinvent the Keyflower wheel, but it adds that extra spice that fans love. It integrates perfectly with the core mechanics of the base game, such as worker placement and tile auctions. The idea is simple: get the pigs, put them in the shelter, and make sure they count towards your final score. It sounds easy, but in the competitive world of Keyflower, every point is fought for! This expansion is one of those small additions that make a noticeable difference in replayability and tactical options. It's perfect for those who already master the base game and are looking for new ways to expand their village and maximize their gains. Get ready for more fierce auctions and strategic decisions! It's an invitation for those who want to deepen the Keyflower experience without adding excessive complexity, focusing on a specific aspect of the game's economy and scoring.

Do I need the Keyflower base game to play with Pig Shelter?
Yes, absolutely! Pig Shelter is an expansion and requires the Keyflower base game to be used.
How many players does this expansion support?
It's designed for the same player count as the base game, which is 2 to 6 players.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
Not significantly. It adds a new tile and a specific scoring mechanic, but it fits well within Keyflower's existing rules, acting more as a tactical addition than a complex one.
What exactly does the Pig Shelter add to the game?
It adds a new village tile that allows players to allocate pigs to earn bonus points at the end of the game. It's similar to the Sheep Shelter.
Is it worth buying if I already have other Keyflower expansions?
If you like having all the options and want to maximize your score with pigs, yes. It adds a direct way to score with these resources.
What happens if I can't allocate all my pigs to the Pig Shelter?
Pigs that are not allocated to the Pig Shelter will not yield the bonus points at the end of the game. Therefore, planning is essential!
