What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2009

A site of free video courses and lectures from top universities, such as Harvard, MIT, Oxford and Yale.

Richard Ludlow launched it on 24 March 2009 with co-founders Chris Bruner and Liam Pisano. Its courses covered around 50 subjects, from astronomy to political science.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
