Z-Man Games offered two promotional cards — one role and one event — to their volunteer Z-Force team at Gen Con 2016. Both cards were designed by Michael Young, but Matt Leacock collaborated on development of the cards. The player with the Z-Force Team Member role starts the game in Montreal, and for an action, this player can move directly to Montreal or Essen. This player discovers a cure, other players in the same city can collectively contribute up to two cards toward the five needed for a cure. When the Game Convention event is played, each player in the game may travel to the current player's city.
