What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1997
The website of BBC News, with world, UK, science, entertainment and political news plus audio and video from BBC television and radio.
It has been described as Britain's most popular online news destination, used by 62% of the country's internet users for news. Its international edition gets 1.2 billion visits a month.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
