Card Notes

  • Icon transcription: Icons are written as bracketed shape descriptions. The scans do not print their names, so the names used in the base Earth rulebook (for example Soil, Sprouts, Growth, Compost, Fauna, Yellow Action, Green Action) are not assigned here except where the card text itself uses the word.
  • Yellow Action and Green Action: The Monsoon and Swamp texts name the Yellow Action and the Green Action. The card text does not restate what those actions do; the base Earth rules apply.
  • Komodo ability: The printed text is "+2 [compost icon] / [paw icon] you fulfilled this turn". The slash is printed as shown and is transcribed as printed; the card does not spell out a per-unit reading, so the wording is left as printed.
  • Vagar cost reduction: The printed text says the cost is reduced by 1 only when the card has a colour in its name, written in italics, and that the cost is not reduced below 0.
  • Expansion scope: Only the promo cards' own printed ability text is transcribed. The base Earth rules are not restated here.
