9.- Promo Cards and Hidden Messages - I Want to Believe edition

Most of the PROMO cards of "I Want to Believe" edition have been designed by X-FilesCCG fans. Billie Reid (fan of Mitch Pillegi) proposed the one with Skinner in pants, and Robert Czepiel added the first "Promo" being a Site. In fact, it is the first site that allows to ask two questions if successfully investigated. It won't be easy, as it requires Behavioral 7+ (it will require a big Team of Agents to ensure the investigation):

2) FIRST CARD DESIGNS / IDEAS 

 

Pablo Sánchez chose Chris Carter as a Promo card among other options, and Greg CMD suggested the idea of having a card to perform a "resurrection" of an Agent Killed. Gregory Fremaux provided many ideas. One of them was the possibility to keep a Witness card (non-permanent) for an extra turn. Robert Czepiel added the sites already used in the equation, and so appeared the "First Elder's Summons" card. Robert also suggested to have a Promo card in polish, and we translated into that language a card created in 2008 that can work as a perfect combo with some of the new cards of "I want to believe" ("A Privileged Mind"). Who said that PROMO cards could only be in english, german or french?
