# GEN2

Generation 2 (GEN2) construction cards were introduced later during the development of NBM. They can be obtained by opening a second-generation construction pack. GEN2 construction cards are not necessarily better than GEN1 construction cards. They offer alternatives on how to play NBM.

There are only 4 different GEN2 templates which allow to boost the production of each resource.
