What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2013

An online music shop where artists and labels upload their music, set their own prices and sell downloads, records and merchandise.

Launched on 16 September 2008 by Ethan Diamond, Shawn Grunberger, Joe Holt and Neal Tucker. Bandcamp Fridays in 2020, with its cut waived, raised over $40 million for artists. Epic Games bought it in 2022 and sold it in 2023.

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

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
