Terraforming Mars: St. Joseph of Cupertino Mission Promo Card

About this expansion

Terraforming Mars: St. Joseph of Cupertino Mission Promo Card is a 2024 promo card for 1–5 players, designed for games lasting about 120 minutes.

St. Joseph of Cupertino Mission is an active card with no tags. Its action gives players a new way to use city tiles during play, combining a resource payment with a potential card-drawing benefit for the city owner.

• Spend 5 M€ to place a cathedral, represented by a silver cube, on a city tile.
• Steel may be used for this payment.
• A city can have a maximum of one cathedral.
• The city owner may pay 2 M€ to draw one card.
• Each cathedral in play is worth 1 VP.

The card’s cathedral action rewards careful placement on existing city tiles. Because each city can contain only one cathedral, players must consider where this limited placement opportunity is used, while the city owner gains an optional way to spend money for an additional card.

With its silver-cube cathedral marker and straightforward victory-point value, the promo adds a focused objective to the city landscape. The city owner’s optional payment also creates a distinct interaction whenever the action is used.

St. Joseph of Cupertino Mission was included in the Prelude 2 Kickstarter and is also available in limited quantities at select board game conventions and from FryxGames. It is identified as Promo Card X64.
