If you're already a fan of the Terraforming Mars universe, you know every detail counts when trying to dominate the Red Planet. This is a special promotional card that jumped from the Prelude 2 Kickstarter into the hands of players at select conventions. So, what makes it so special? Get ready to introduce the 'Nomads' to your game. Unlike some passive cards, this one is an active card that brings a very interesting movement dynamic to the board. When played, you place a gold cube representing the Nomads on any empty, non-reserved area on the game board. The real kicker is that by moving them to an adjacent area, you gain the same placement bonuses as if you were placing a special tile right there. It's a fantastic way to get an extra boost in your game, securing resources or actions that might otherwise be out of reach. Keep in mind that once the Nomads occupy a space, no other tiles can be placed there. It's a powerful strategic tool for anyone looking to optimize every move on the Martian board. If you're looking for that extra edge to accelerate your production engine or secure a crucial position, this card is your passport to space success.
