What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1999

Educational websites from New York with short animated films, quizzes and lesson materials for pupils aged 5 to 14.

Founded in 1999 by Avraham Kadar and Chanan Kadmon, it stars the characters Tim and Moby. By 2024 it held over 1,000 films, and in 2022 Kirkbi A/S, which owns a controlling stake in Lego, bought it.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

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