About the game
The Spring 2022 promotional card, titled New Partner, was offered as an exclusive bonus from FryxGames – order between March 1 and May 31, 2022 and you receive 42 copies. It works as a Prelude‑type card without a tag: when played it raises your M€ production by one step, giving you an early economic push. The fun part follows: you draw two Prelude cards, play one of them and discard the other. This provides a quick resource bump and lets you pick an extra ability that can reshape your strategy. Like any promo card, it doesn’t change the base‑game rules but adds a small edge that can be decisive in the opening turns, especially in solo or low‑player games. The component is just the printed card, no new boards or tokens needed. Keep in mind that, being a collector’s item, its availability was limited and it may be hard to find outside the original campaign. In terms of complexity the card is straightforward – read the text and apply the effect immediately. If you already love Terraforming Mars and enjoy hunting rare cards, this promo is a neat addition to your deck, though not essential if you already own all Prelude cards. In short, New Partner gives an immediate economic boost and a chance to pick a new Prelude card, all wrapped in a compact, thematic package.
