What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 9 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

An American technology website with news, reviews, blogs, podcasts and videos about technology and consumer electronics.

Halsey Minor and Shelby Bonnie founded it in 1992, starting with television. CBS bought its parent for $1.8 billion in 2008, then Red Ventures in 2020 and Ziff Davis in 2024.

In 1997: A year after its July 1996 flotation on the NASDAQ, under the ticker CNWK.

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.
