Newton: Robert Hooke Promo Card

About this expansion

Newton: Robert Hooke Promo Card is a 2018 promotional Master card for Newton, associated with games for 1–4 players and a 90-minute play time. It introduces Robert Hooke as a distinct Master card option.

Robert Hooke provides no immediate or instant power when used. Instead, his value is scored at the end of the game, when the card grants 9 victory points.

This makes the promo card clearly focused on an end-game reward rather than an effect that changes play as soon as it appears. Its benefit is straightforward: include Robert Hooke, receive no instant power, and count 9 victory points during final scoring.

• Card type: Master card
• Featured figure: Robert Hooke
• Instant power: None
• End-game value: 9 victory points
• Release year: 2018

The Robert Hooke card was given as a promotional card at GenCon 2018 and Spiel 2018. It is also included in the New Edition of Newton & Great Discoveries, making it part of that edition rather than an entirely separate addition for owners of the new release.

For players looking to identify the card’s role, its defining feature is the contrast between its lack of an instant power and its fixed end-game contribution. In Newton: Robert Hooke Promo Card, the Master card’s impact is reserved for the final tally, where its 9 victory points are awarded.
