What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Media card here, +3 Power to this card.
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 2009
The service that let people swap MP3s directly between their own computers, launched by Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker.
Fanning's school nickname gave it its name. It filled up university networks, drew suits from record labels and Metallica, and was shut down in 2001. The name was later bought and reused.
In 2009: Owned by Best Buy, which bought it in September 2008 for $121 million.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
