Description

**Lavender**, cultivated for centuries, is used fresh or dried for decorations, its oil for medicine, but primarily for high-quality honey production; in-game, Lavender Tiles grant an extra turn when added to a field with an existing farmer (26 words). Key mechanics include: - *Extra turn bonus* Lavender Tiles provide the player an extra turn specifically when placed on a field already occupied by one of their farmers. Lavender has been cultivated for centuries in rural areas, with its flowers employed fresh or dried as ornamental decorations to enhance room aesthetics, and its oil prized for medicinal benefits. However, its paramount significance lies in producing superior honey vital to local beekeepers. In the game, Lavender Tiles mechanize this by awarding the player an additional turn upon placement adjacent to or enhancing a field where they already maintain a farmer, introducing a strategic layer of turn acceleration tied to existing board presence.
