Promotional Card Use

Shuffle all six promo event cards into the action deck at the start of the game.

Promo Events

Apex Predator (one-time event)

If there is a healthy reptile in play, choose one: suppress two animals; or suppress one animal twice.

Intelligence (one-time event)

Cancel an Ongoing Event (discard it from play).

Draw a card if there is a healthy mammal in play.

Migration (ongoing event)

Return all birds to their controllers' hands.

Birds can no longer be played to this biome.

Poisonous (one-time event)

Suppress one animal.

Score 1 point if there is a healthy arachnid in play.

Semi-Aquatic (ongoing event)

As long as there is a healthy amphibian in play, this card counts as 5 water icons (otherwise 0).

Speciation (ongoing event)

You score 1 point whenever an insect is put into play at this biome by any player.

Promotional Card Clarifications

Apex Predator – If there are no healthy reptiles, this card does nothing when played.

Intelligence – This card has no effect on one-time events.

Migration – Birds can, of course, be played to future biomes normally.

Poisonous – Note that the suppression occurs before checking for the presence of a healthy arachnid.

Semi-Aquatic – This event is not doubled by the Autotrophs event (it's not an animal).

Speciation – This event doesn't count insects that are already in play at the time it is played.

Card Icons

The event-type labels above are taken from the card icons, as explained in the base game rulebook: events with the double-arrow icon are "ongoing" events, which are played to the table and remain in play; events with the single-arrow icon are "one-time" events, which are resolved and then placed in the discard pile.
