What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.
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 2012
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 2012: Its staff had more than tripled since the 2008 election. In 2008 it drew over three million unique visits a month.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
