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 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1995

A bilingual English and Chinese database of Hong Kong films and the people who made them, started in 1995 by Ryan Law.

It began with data on over 6,000 films and reviews from an older database hosted at Stanford. It grew to cover more than 20,000 films and nearly 100,000 people, with some Taiwanese and Chinese films too.

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.
