What it does

On reveal: If you already have another Media card here, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2002

A Melbourne daily tabloid, formed from the merger of two older papers, The Herald and The Sun News-Pictorial.

In 2017 it was the highest-circulating daily newspaper in Australia, with weekday sales of 350,000. The Herald it absorbed had been founded in 1840.

In 2002: The afternoon edition had been cancelled, with its last issue on 21 December 2001.

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.
