## Description
Aleph Null: Promo – The Penis Tree is a promotional card released at Spiel 2022 as an alternate version of the classic "The Weeping Tree" from the Aleph Null base game. It costs 2 energy to summon, and while in play it offers a sacrifice effect that lets you pick two of four options: discard or scrap a card, sacrifice a card from your hand, gain 1 Magic Power, or draw a card. Functionally it works exactly like "The Weeping Tree", but features alternate artwork inspired by medieval manuscripts, complete with a cheeky nod to irritated monks. The backstory is that during playtesting the team joked the art wouldn’t make it to the final print, yet the card was produced as a bilingual (English and German) promo at the publisher’s booth on day one of the fair. The card replaces the original in the deck, so owners of the base game can simply swap the "Weeping Tree" for the "Penis Tree" to add visual flair without altering mechanics. It’s a perfect collector’s item for fans who love graphic curiosities and enjoy customizing their sessions. A typical game still runs about 20 minutes, making it great for short play windows, and it’s designed for solo play, as Aleph Null is a one‑player game. While the expansion doesn’t affect the difficulty curve, the humorous artwork might not suit everyone, especially those who prefer a more serious tone. In the end, it’s a fun giveaway that shows how tiny artistic details can spark laughter around the table.
