## Description
Outdoor Sports is a promotional card released in the 2021 winter by FryxGames, available for purchase separately or as a free gift when ordering from the official webstore. It appears as a Project costing 8 M€, with no special tags, and provides a straightforward effect: if at least one city belonging to any player is adjacent to an ocean, you raise your M€ production by two steps. This condition is often met early, as most Terraforming Mars games place oceans within the first few rounds. Consequently, the card acts as an economic booster, letting you speed up expensive projects or increase your income to buy more action cards. Like any promo card, it doesn’t change the base rules but adds an extra option to your project deck. It’s ideal for players who enjoy fine‑tuning their resource engine and prefer cards that give a quick lift without heavy decision‑making. The artwork depicts an outdoor sport scene on a Martian landscape, reinforcing the theme of fun and activity on a planet still being terraformed. While simple, the card can shift the dynamics of strategies that rely heavily on M€ production for mega‑projects. Keep in mind that, being a singleton, it may spark balance discussions in groups that play with “all official components” rules. In short, Outdoor Sports offers an easy‑to‑reach production bump, perfect for those who want to accelerate terraforming without overcomplicating the game.
