This card features one of the most iconic structures from the Sacred Woods of Bomarzo, bringing it right to your table. You can shuffle it into the development deck and draw it during the game. When you deploy it, it grants you 1 Architecture point, and when you evolve it to its other side, that's 3 points! And that's not all: the evolved side also gifts you 1 silver resource during every Production phase. It's a nice little bonus for those who enjoy optimizing production and boosting their scores.

With it, you not only gain points but also a passive income stream, which is always welcome in strategy games. So, if you have the base game and want to add some extra spice, this exclusive card is a gem!
