About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a pro at turning Mars into a lush green paradise, get ready to add a touch of spirituality and profit to your colony! This is the 'St. Joseph of Cupertino Mission' promo card, a special item that debuted during the Prelude 2 Kickstarter and can be found in limited quantities at select conventions. So, what does it actually do at the table? Basically, it gives you a golden opportunity to build something grand.

With this card's action, you can spend 5 MegaCredits (and yes, you can use your steel to help cover the cost!) to place a cathedral—represented by a silver cube—on an existing city tile. Just a heads-up: you can only place one cathedral per city. But wait, there's more! If you own the city where the cathedral is built, you have the option to pay 2 MegaCredits to draw a new card, which is a huge boost to your engine. Ultimately, every cathedral remaining in play earns you 1 Victory Point. It's that strategic little nudge that can shift your corporation's trajectory and cement your legacy as the great architect of the new world!
