What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 1998
Steve Baldwin's catalogue of abandoned websites, from forgotten film and concert promotions to orphaned corporate pages, each marked with ghost icons.
Baldwin began it in summer 1996 while working at Time Warner's Pathfinder, after a night at sea made him see dead websites as ghost ships. Revived by 1999 at disobey.com, it kept recording the dead sites of the dot-com era.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
