## Description
If you've already ventured into transforming Mars into a habitable planet in Terraforming Mars, get ready for another tool in your corporate toolbox! This small promotional card, the Robot Pollinators, is an addition that can give your plant production a little boost. It fits into that category of green cards, the automated ones, which don't require much fuss to be activated – you just need 4% oxygen on the planet, which, let's face it, is already a basic prerequisite for anything other than a lone robot.

The deal here is to increase your plant production by one step and, as a bonus, give you one extra plant for every plant tag you've already accumulated. This means that if you already have a good collection of cards that give you plant bonuses, this card can turn into a green resource-generating machine. It's the kind of card that rewards those already investing in this strategy, turning a one-time bonus into a cascading effect. Think of it as a small investment that can yield good fruits (literally!) throughout the game, especially if you play it at the right time, when your other plant cards are already performing well.

As a promotional card, it doesn't drastically change the game, but it adds an extra layer of synergy for those who enjoy optimizing plant production. It's one of those pieces that makes you think: 'Is it worth getting this card now to use later?'. Language dependency is minimal, focusing on quick reading of conditions and effects. If you enjoy the complexity and strategic decisions of Terraforming Mars, this little extra might be an interesting find to add a few more rounds of fun and optimization.
