Mechanical Turk

Printed header: "1770-1854, Europe and Americas". Card type: Wonder, shown with two Wonder section boxes. The card illustration is an automaton chess-player cabinet with a turbaned figure seated behind it and carries no rules text.

Printed rules text (the scale icon and the yellow lotus icon are symbols on the card):

"When ready: +2 (yellow lotus icon)."

"Action: Give to other with < (scale icon)."

Printed values:

• Section 1 construction cost: -4 Stone (dark grey stone icon).
• Section 2 construction cost: 0 Stone (dark grey stone icon).
• Victory points: 1 (yellow laurel icon).
• Bottom left: a black disc showing -4 next to a gold coin icon.

Symbols on this card

• The dark grey stone icon is Stone, the construction cost for Wonder sections in the base Nations game.
• The yellow laurel with 1 is Victory Points, as in the base Nations game.
• The gold coin icon is Gold, as in the base Nations game.

Known gaps

• The black disc marked -4 next to the gold coin is not explained on the card or in the photo. It is transcribed as printed and its meaning is not stated here.
• The balance/scale icon is not named on this card. It is the same icon used on the Kremlin promo card's "+4 scales" effect. It is most likely Stability (the base Nations Stability track), but this is inferred and not printed on the card.
• The yellow lotus icon is not named on this card, and its exact name in the base rulebook was not checked. It is transcribed as the resource the card's ready effect grants (+2).
• The Action text "Give to other" does not name a recipient or a resource beyond the scale icon. It is transcribed as printed.
