What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 9 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 2007

An independent Belarusian-language weekly newspaper, founded in Minsk in 2007 and published by the Skaryna Belarusian Language Society.

Its name means 'New Time'. Belarusian authorities warned it in late 2007 and June 2010, and in January 2024 its website, novychas.online, was added to the country's list of extremist materials.

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.
