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 2005

An Olympic news website, formerly edited by the British sports journalist Duncan Mackay.

It was sold in 2023 to Vox Europe Investment Holding Ltd, with a new editorial team based in Spain. In May 2024 control passed to Itg Media Dmcc in Dubai.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

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