Deep Event Cards

Some of the PROMO Deep cards are events with a purple textbox and an event icon (⚡).

To play an event:

• Pay the cost of the Deep card you are about to play by moving population equal to its migrate number from your score pile to the Reef or any one Ocean zone.
• Remove the Deep trait from the game and take the action.

Promo event cards

The two event cards in this insert are printed with their card art and text. Each card's migrate number (cost) is shown in the bottom-left corner, and the number printed at the bottom right is transcribed as printed. A wave-stripe symbol also appears at the bottom of each card; it is not named in the text and is not transcribed.

Bioluminescent Lure

Guillaume Ducos — Migrate 2 — Printed number 96 — Event (⚡)

Play as an extra action when attacked. After the attack is resolved, if the attacker is a valid target, the attacked species attacks back once.

Overgrazing

Tomasz Jedruszek — Migrate 3 — Printed number 108 — Event (⚡)

Instead of your normal feeding turn, each of your species without [Can't forage] may forage this turn. After your feeding phase, move any population in the Reef to an ocean zone.
