Anthill is Weyland’s “long Rashida”!

• T+0: Install it and protect with a Kessleroid. Jamming a 3[$]-to-rez asset behind a 2[$]-to-rez gearcheck is affordable even without Hedge Fund.
• T+1: +1[$], 1 card. You'll break even on rez (WRT “units of value”), but you can't have completely bankrupted yourself rezzing ice.
• T+2: +5[$], 2 cards. You'll profit more, but you'll need to protect it rezzed for a turn. CF. Nico Campaign.

Design-wise, Anthill is the first(?) “Two-Turn Asset”. Most are either:

• “One-Turn pseudo-Operations”: like Rashida, Gaslight, etc. or:
• “Three-Plus-Turn” drip/click econ: like Otto, Nico, and other Campaigns.

This “One turn face-down; One turn face-up” (first with security through obscurity, then with security through.... ice, reprisals, etc) feels dynamic. You're still ramping rapidly, but not quite as easily as with Rashida. You're still exploiting hidden-information and click-constraints (the Runner checking unrezzed remotes), but you can't just spam three of these assets uniced.

I'd love more such “Contracts”.

BTW, this was the first card spoiled in Elevation’s “neo-Rashida cycle (non-neutral, powerful, accelerated econ assets/upgrades):

• 🟢 Anthill Excavation Contract
• 🟣 Humanoid Resources
• 🔴 Mitra Aman?
• 🟡 Maybe NBN will get the “⅔ Rashida” ([$0] → When your turn begins, you may trash this asset to gain 2[$] and draw 2 cards.).
