Lifetime: 3
Found: Starter Deck

Usage: Place on your Market building to draw the Graboids towards it for 3 turns. Great for distracting the monsters and drawing them away from your fragile Meeple! If you placed the Market at the start of the game, this should be very far away from your Meeple. The Graboids will attack and destroy it once they reach it - Make sure no one is left inside!
Tractor
Movement: 1 Lifetime: Until Hit
Found: Card Market
Trivia: Walter's little tractor. Setting this off was Miguel's bright idea
Usage: Play to spawn a Tractor next to one of your Meeple! It'll continue in a straight line in the direction you pick until it collides with something or a Graboid munches it. Use R to rotate the blueprint, and pay attention to the green arrow showing which direction it'll drive in! Recommended to play away from Graboids in a long clear line, so it has time to draw them away from your Meeple. You probably shouldn't use it while the Soda Machine distraction is still active, to get the most benefit out of it.
