Neptunian Power Consultants (Promo Card X61) is a specialized active card with a Power tag, distributed via the Prelude 2 Kickstarter and in limited quantities at select board game conventions. Its core effect triggers whenever any ocean is placed on the board, allowing the card's owner the option to spend 5 M€—with steel as a valid payment method—to elevate their energy production by one step and place one hydroelectric resource directly on the card. This mechanic incentivizes strategic timing around ocean developments, potentially by any player, to accumulate hydroelectric resources, each of which yields 1 victory point at game end, fostering a balance between resource expenditure and long-term scoring potential. ---
