What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2006
A community news site that mixed Associated Press stories with articles and links posted by members, who voted on and discussed them.
Mike Davidson and three partners founded it in Seattle in 2005. Time named it the top news site of 2006; msnbc.com bought it in 2007, and NBC News quietly closed it on 1 October 2017.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
