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 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 1999

An independent Russian newspaper, known for investigative reporting, founded in Moscow in 1993 by former Komsomolskaya Pravda journalists.

Its editor Dmitry Muratov shared the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. Six of its journalists, among them Anna Politkovskaya, have been murdered since 2000. In October 2026 it announced it would close on 9 November, citing pressure from the authorities.

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.
