## FAQ
### Do I need *Prelude 2* to use this card?
Nope! It works with the base game or any *Terraforming Mars* expansion.

### Where can I get this card?
It was part of the *Prelude 2* Kickstarter, but will also be at conventions and FryxGames’ website — hurry, it’s limited!

### Is it worth it for casual players?
If you’re not a collector or don’t play *Terraforming Mars* weekly, it might not be essential.

### How many cards come in the pack?
Just one — it’s a single promo card, not a deck.

### Does it unbalance the game?
Not drastically! It’s a helpful early boost but won’t break the experience.
