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 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 American news site on politics and policy, founded in 2007 by the media executive Robert Allbritton, with editions in Europe.
It set out to cover politics as fast and finely as sports. Axel Springer bought it in 2021 for more than $1 billion. Politico Europe, based in Brussels, began in 2015.
In 2007: Launched on 23 January by John F. Harris and Jim VandeHei, who had left The Washington Post. Mike Allen of Time was their first hire.
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.
