Wholesaler

Special Effects
Negative area effects to all diagonally adjacent tiles.

Strategy
This card unlocks at level 3, and once it does it would be strategic to replace one of your Factory cards with this one. The economy and expense for these two cards are identical, but the area effect change allows for some interesting combinations. For example, if you put a Wholesaler on a corner, all but one of its area effect tiles lie off the board. With this you can minimize the amount of negative points on nearby tiles. The economy boost is almost essential in the early game because that extra purchase could seriously help the player to succeed.
