## Description
You know that special touch that transforms a strategic match into something even more dynamic? That's exactly what the Promo Cards for Inventions: Evolution of Ideas bring to the table. This small content pack was born as a stretch goal from the Kickstarter campaign and serves to give a little 'upgrade' to your technological evolution experience. If you already enjoy managing industry and watching ideas evolve, these cards add new layers of possibilities to the base game.

The set features 6 promotional idea cards that expand the range of available inventions. We're talking about curious and thematic additions such as Robots, X-Rays, Suspension Bridges, Sundials, Lacquer, and — for the joy of gamers — even a Board Game! Each of these cards introduces new variables to your worker placement and point-to-point movement strategy, forcing players to rethink the order of their discoveries to maximize their score.

A great point is that, being promotional cards focused on ideas, they don't come with massive walls of text that slow down the game. Language dependency is minimal, making memorization quick and fluid, so the focus remains on the mental battle rather than reading manuals. It's the ideal complement for those who want to vary their matches and test new combinations of production and science without altering the essence of the original game. If you already own the base game and want to expand your empire of inventions with iconic items, these cards are the way to go.
