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 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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

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 2005: Behind a paywall since 2004, though a version without nudity was now open to non-subscribers.

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.
