I have a bit of an obsession with hexagonal tiles, mathematically, geometrically, and in games. Rhombic dodecahedra fill (tile) 3d space, and if you take the cross section of those at the vertices, you can actually find 4 distinct hexagonal tilings at offset angles from each other, as well ad 3 square tilings. I've put together a ton of hexagonal chess variants. I may be getting these just for the hex tiles.

3:22 We have a house rule for this game. Each time you place a tile, you have to announce your rationale for urban planning. In this case, the answer could be "Our citizens are too good looking and skinny, so the city council decided to zone for a fast food restaurant that is immediately adjacent to housing." More adjacent housing is necessary because we don't want people walking very far; exercise may make them healthy. With so many unhealthy citizens eating terrible food, your best option is to build a slaughterhouse to keep the population under control etc. I personally put down a slaughterhouse every time I build a retirement community in case they are too far from extra lakes. Casinos are also excellent for being placed next to schools or libraries for obvious reasons.

Keyflower is still such a fantastic game still in 2020, I would highly recommend it. It's a great worker placement game that doesn't miss out on interaction like most eurogame's tend to. Works great with 2 players works great with 6 players. Try it if you haven't played it!
@watcherfox96983 жыл бұрын
As a counter voice: I've only played it with 6, but I find it absolutely awful. The mechanisms strongly go against any theme, the way bid owners are tracked is clunky unless you are playing at a round or hexagonal table, and the design is extremely AP prone... or alternatively if you want to avoid AP, it's highly maddening as people use stuff in your town blocking you from using it (which is likely to get you if you aren't watching everything). I've enjoyed other games in the Key series, but this one is just a mess. I don't know, but it might be okay with 2 or maybe even 3, but above that no way. It's complete garbage. (This is of course my opinion... well, actually 4 out of the 6 players with a 5th one being neutral. ) By the way, I won the game by a fair margin if that matters. Note: I'm not trying to disparage anyone that likes the game. I'm just offering a different opinion.
