− | + | With the exceptions of {{Card|Governor}} and {{Event|Summon}}, each Promo card is an "[[outtake]]" card or borrowed from a yet-to-be-released set . Governor was designed on the spot, borrowing a name and mechanic from the game Puerto Rico, and Summon was designed by a playtester after the release of [[Adventures]]. Further details on the design and history of the cards can be found on the individual card pages under the "Secret History" subheading. | |
