Carl von Linné: Alexander Humboldt Promo

Alexander von Humboldt used innovative scientific instruments for his time, such as barometers, sextants, and thermometers, which allowed him to accurately measure altitude, temperature, and other natural phenomena during his expeditions. Special Ability: Humboldt has one extra lens token - measurement lens. It triggers a wild action, but if it is played on 2x or 3x spot, each action must be used for a different action. During the setup, add measurement lens as a sixth one next to the five basic lens tokens on your player board. Whenever the Humboldt player discards a lens token during the income phase, they place it on one of the spots on Humboldt character board. You may choose any lens spot and immediately trigger the reward covered. You can't discard the basic Wild lens. You may discard the measurement lens if you want to.
