About the game
The Mini-Expansion for Legacy: Gears of Time is a set of 5 unique Technology cards (10 Cards total): Art (3) Antibiotics (2) Banking (1) Satellites (2) Universities (2) These Technologies build off the core set of technologies, but introduce a shift in balance to the existing technology tree Satellites and Antibiotics make the communication and medical branches even stronger contenders over the transportation branch, more choices and more challenges! Banking has a dependency on Law, giving you a fantastic reason to go out of your way to keep influencing the previously terminal technology. Universities depends on the new Fundamental Technology Art and has 0 discard cost. Be sure to have some Influence Cubes ready, the reward is worth the effort! Note: There is a misprint on Antibiotics. The reminder of the reward for Hospital should be 5, not 6.
