## Description
The 2017 Promo Pack for Alien Frontiers has landed, folks! This special little package, which debuted with the Kickstarter for the game's fifth edition, brings two goodies to boost your spacefaring experience. First up is the 'Frontier Outpost' card, featuring the classic original cover art of the base game, adding a nice touch of nostalgia. Second, we have the 'Terran Exchange' faction board, which introduces a new strategic layer to your games. If you're already a fan of Alien Frontiers and want to enhance its visual appeal and options, this promo is for you. It blends the tension of area control with the luck (and strategy!) of dice rolling and worker placement. It's the kind of addition that makes you want to return to the table again and again. For those looking to expand the Alien Frontiers universe with an extra dash of art and a new faction to explore, this pack is a welcome addition. It doesn't radically change the game but adds that extra spice that fans love, maintaining the sci-fi and competitive essence that made Alien Frontiers a hit. Get your dice and spaceships ready for another round of space conquest!

## FAQ
### Do I need the base game Alien Frontiers to use this promo pack?
Yes, absolutely! This is a promotional pack that adds content to the base game Alien Frontiers, so you need the base game to use these new items.

### How many players can enjoy this promo pack?
The promo pack is for the base game Alien Frontiers, which supports 2 to 6 players. The additions do not change this player count.

### What exactly comes in this pack?
It includes a card called 'Frontier Outpost' with the original game art and a faction board called 'Terran Exchange'.

### Does this promo pack significantly change the game's complexity?
Not significantly. It adds a new strategic option with the faction and a visual element, but the overall complexity of the base game remains the same.

### Is it difficult to understand the new rules or components?
If you already play Alien Frontiers, you'll get the hang of it quickly. The adaptation is quite smooth as it integrates with the existing mechanics.

### Is it worth buying if I only play casually?
If you like the aesthetics and want a little more variety without overcomplicating things, it might be worth it. However, if you're looking for an expansion with many new rules, this might not be its main purpose.

### Is this pack a full expansion or just additions?
These are specific additions: one card and one faction board. It's not an expansion that introduces complex new mechanics, but rather a 'flavoring' for the game you already know.
