Materials Merchant

"'Materials have a mind of their own.' ~ Robert"Materials Merchant is one of the sixteen Mayor Cards for the game Ultrapolis. Its emphasis is to allow players to purchase Materials at costly rates, but without the need to build Industrial Buildings. It is also the only Mayor Card that only has one benefit.

Benefits
- May buy any Material for U$100

Further explained, Materials cost anywhere between 5 and 50 Ultrabucks (U$). With the Materials Merchant, you do not need to build any Production Buildings (in theory). However, Materials are at least twice as expensive for you as anyone else. You will need quite a few Ultrabucks in order to have Materials Merchant work for you.

Previous Versions
The previous version of Materials Merchant allowed players to buy Materials for U$10 instead of U$100. This was valid prior to the revision of Industrial Buildings, but was more recently seen as overpowered. It also allowed players to sell Materials back for a fraction of the cost. This was also revised.

Trivia
Card ID is 00-0008.
