What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2005
A UK online newspaper for the LGBTQ+ community, covering British and international news.
Benjamin Cohen began it in July 2005 by registering the PinkNews.co.uk domain as an experiment. A print edition followed in 2006 but did not last. In 2012 Cohen helped launch the Out4Marriage video campaign.
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.
