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 2000

A UK music webzine with reviews, news, interviews and discussion forums, founded and edited by Sean Adams.

It grew out of an email fanzine and became Drowned in Sound in 2000. People shorten the name to DiS. Adams stopped commissioning new reviews and features in 2019, then brought it back in 2023 as an audio publication.

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.
