What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.

It costs 5 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 2006
A Japanese video site where viewers' comments scroll across the picture as it plays. The name is the Japanese sound for smiling.
Its first version borrowed YouTube as its video source, until YouTube blocked it and it went dark for two weeks. It won a Good Design Award in 2007, and was known as Nico Nico Douga until 2012.
In 2006: Launched in December 2006 as Nico Nico Douga.
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.
