Scythe: Promo Pack #11 – Encounter Card 39

Description

--- **Encounter Card #39** is a promotional card from the 2017 The Game Boy Geek Kickstarter campaign, introducing a new encounter featuring mechs in a meadow with cows and electric lines, offering resource trade-offs. Key mechanics include: - *Steer mechs away from electric lines*: Gain 2 food and 1 popularity for safe avoidance. - *Cow-milking lessons*: Pay $2 to acquire 4 food from farmers. - *Siphon electricity*: Pay 2 popularity to gain 5 power for armament boost. This promotional Encounter Card (#39), distributed during the 2017 The Game Boy Geek Kickstarter campaign, integrates into the game with artwork of mechs entering a meadow containing cows and an electric line. Players face three strategic choices balancing resource gains and costs: steering mechs clear yields 2 food and 1 popularity; paying $2 for awkward cow-milking lessons from farmers provides 4 food; or sacrificing 2 popularity to siphon electricity grants 5 power to turbocharge armament, emphasizing tactical decisions in managing food, popularity, money, and power within the game's encounter system. ---
