About the game
What you do in a play session
Astra Mechanica is a promo card for Terraforming Mars, originally included in the Prelude 2 Kickstarter and later available in limited quantities at conventions. This automated card (with a Science tag) lets you pick 2 project cards from your event pile and add them to your hand — a small but strategic boost. Just don’t expect to grab cards that place special tiles, so plan carefully! Perfect for base-game veterans craving extra flexibility. And yes, it’s as rare as it sounds: if you spot one, grab it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need other expansions to use this card?
Nope! It works with just the base game, but it’s compatible with other expansions too.
Will there be a reprint?
Probably not — it was designed to be limited-edition, so hunt it down if you want one!
Does it work with expansion cards?
Only with your base game event pile (and no special tiles, remember?).
Is it worth it for beginners?
Only if you’re already hooked — it’s a subtle tweak for seasoned players.
How many cards come in the pack?
Just this one, the X51 Astra Mechanica. Promos are usually one-offs!
