What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2015

A Singaporean video streaming service, a joint venture of Singtel, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros.

It ran in Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, India and Indonesia and was valued at $420 million in March 2015. It filed for liquidation on 27 March 2020 and shut on 30 April 2020.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
