What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2011

A New York news and media company aimed at millennials, originally called PolicyMic.

It first drew notice for its on-the-ground reporting from the Tunisian Revolution in 2011. By April 2014 it had 19 million unique visitors a month. In November 2018 it laid off most of its staff after Facebook cancelled a video deal.

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.
