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 2004

A Chinese video streaming site that grew out of PPLive, a peer-to-peer streaming program.

PPLive began as free peer-to-peer software made at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, and its service launched in December 2004. Shanghai SynaCast ran most operations, and Suning bought a majority stake in 2013-14.

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.
