About the game
What you do in a play session
The 16 Psyche Promo Card (X44) slipped into issue 2/23 of Spielbox, adding a splash of space‑metal flair to your Terraforming Mars. This green card costs 31 M€ and, when played, raises titanium production by two steps and grants three titanium resources right away. At game’s end the card is worth two victory points, so timing its play is key. The artwork nods to asteroid 16 Psyche, famed for its metal richness, which explains the titanium boost. As with any promo, a full translation is needed for Portuguese‑speaking groups, though the English text is ready to go. Within the base game it taps into Closed Drafting and Hand Management mechanics, demanding you decide when to draft and deploy the extra resource. It fits neatly into the Economic and Science‑Fiction themes, complementing production and trade strategies. While it doesn’t overhaul core rules, the modest advantage can swing tight games, especially with 4‑5 players where titanium control often decides the winner. In short, it’s a collectible add‑on that also offers a tactical edge for fans who love fine‑tuning Mars’s economy.
