What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

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 2000

A news programme made in Toronto for the web, in which women read the headlines either nude or while undressing.

Debuted in December 1999 with one anchor, Victoria Sinclair, who stayed until 2015. Spread by word of mouth, it reached over 6 million unique visitors a month at its height, and spun off a TV show in 2001.

In 2000: Early days: the whole newscast was free to watch online, paid for by advertising.

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.
