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 2002

A Chinese online literature platform where readers follow serialised fantasy and other web novels, owned by Tencent's China Literature.

It began in May 2002 as a fan community for Chinese fantasy fiction. Shanda bought it in October 2004, and Tencent took over its owner Shanda Literature in 2015. By 2010 it had 10 million registered users.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
