We've got another card to boost your Newton games: Robert Hooke! This little gem is a promo card that popped up at GenCon and Spiel back in 2018. But don't worry, if you got the new edition of Newton or the "Great Discoveries" expansion, it's already included. Hooke doesn't grant any instant powers, no crazy immediate actions. His magic happens at the end of the game, where he gifts you a sweet 9 victory points. Think of him as a long-term investment, you know? You slot him into your strategy, and when the dust settles, he rewards you. It's a simple addition, but it can make all the difference in a close game. Remember, he's part of the Newton universe, so if you enjoy the base game and want to add a bit more strategy and scoring potential, this card is for you. It fits perfectly with the mechanics we already know, like hand management and point-to-point movement, without overcomplicating things. It's that card you add to your deck or pool and kind of forget about, but it brings a smile to your face at the end. Perfect for those who like to optimize their final score and aren't afraid of a little extra planning. Let's play Newton with Hooke! ## FAQ ### Is this card a full expansion or just an add-on?
