Hey folks, get your farming hats and building tools ready, because Keyper is here to shake up the seasons! This game for 2 to 4 players takes you through four rounds simulating spring, summer, autumn, and winter, where each season brings its own challenges and opportunities. Everyone starts with their own village, a mini-board, and a team of colorful workers called 'keyples'. Each color has its specialty: there's the miner, the woodsman, the potter... and even the white ones, who are wildcards and can become any color! Keyper is a worker placement game, but with a special twist: when you place a keyple in a location, another player can join you with a matching colored keyple, benefiting both. This interaction is key, as it can lead to some players running out of workers before others. And here's something interesting: workers can work twice! If you run out of keyples but others still have some, you can use your turn to secure extra resources or actions. Cooperating is good, but be careful, it's not a cooperative game! The country boards change each season, altering available fields and raw materials. Producing resources in spring and summer is crucial, as options change in autumn and winter, with gem mining only happening during those times. Planning your strategy, deciding when to join others, when to claim a spot, and how to use your village is a constant puzzle. The goal is to accumulate the most points by exploring different paths. Like other games in the 'Key' series, actions are constructive and interaction is indirect but intense. It's a game that makes you think with every move!
