Corporate Era and Promo Pack Expansion
The Corporate Era expansion and Promo pack bring new cards, milestones, and simplified rules to the game.
All cards in the Corporate Era expansion have a small yellow lamp in the lower left, and the Promos are distinguished by two purple lights in the lower left.
Discount and Effects
Corporations and blue cards can have discounts and effects.
A discount means you pay one less of a specific resource to play a card.
An effect prompts a reaction when something happens in the game. For example, the Developer bonus card grants 1 VP whenever you play a green card.
For example the bonus card Developer; whenever you play a green card, you immediately gain 1 V P. You do not flip cards with discounts and effects – they are always active.
Red borders on tiles indicate a reaction to anyone, including yourself, placing that tile. For instance, Arctic algae grants you an instant gain of 1 green dice when an ocean tile is placed (Arctic algae, Eco architects, Rover construction).
Production of Wild tokens and VP. Certain cards generate wild tokens or immediate VP, which you receive when taking a production turn. (Reputation, Sponsored academy, Bio materials, Inventrix)
Storage.
Instead of saving only 3 dice when taking your production turn, some cards let you save more dice, according to the number of box symbols depicted on the card (Logistics, Effective storage)
Card Rules Reference
All cards are playable. To play a card, simply pay its cost. If you can’t perform all the effects, just do the ones you can. Examples below:
Mangrove
Place a greenery tile next to an ocean tile to raise the oxygen level and gain VP. If unable to do so, the tile cannot be placed, resulting in no increase in oxygen or VP.
Urbanized area
If you can not place this city next to another city, then you can not place this city at all, and you therefore get no VP.
IF: When playing a card that grants a benefit based on a condition, it can only be counted once. For example…
Peninsula
You gain 2 blue dice by placing a greenery next to an ocean tile. Even if you place this greenery next to 2 oceans, you still only get 2 blue dice. (swamp, peninsula, immigrant city, mohole lake, tipping point, Lakefront resorts).
CORPORATIONS
Lakefront resorts
When placing a tile next to an ocean, you gain 2 yellow dice. Even if the tile is adjacent to multiple oceans, you still only get 2 yellow dice.
