About the game
If you're the type of player who can't see a space colonization project without wanting to join in, get your production engine ready! We're talking about the 'Protected Growth' promo card, a special item from FryxGames' Spring 2025 campaign. To snag this gem, you'll need to check the FryxGames webstore (keep an eye on those March to May deadlines!) or purchase it separately. But what makes it so special on your Mars board? Well, it's an Event and Plant tag card that requires a certain level of environmental development to activate: you can only play it if Mars' oxygen level is at 7% or lower. Once you meet that requirement, the bonus is a true burst of green growth: you gain one plant for every power tag you have on your board. It's the kind of card that rewards those who have invested heavily in energy infrastructure, efficiently turning electricity into biomass. It's a strategic tool to accelerate the planet's oxygenation while leveraging what you've already built. If you've already mastered the base game and want that extra spice to make your Terraforming Mars sessions even more dynamic and layered, this card is your next step. It fits perfectly into the civilization and resource management theme, helping shape the fate of the Red Planet with an extra boost of green productivity. It's the kind of item that makes all the difference at the perfect timing during a game!
