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 1994

An amateur radio website listing almost every callsign in the world, where licensed users can edit their own entries.

In 1992 its founder, Fred L. Lloyd, used FCC data to make a CD-ROM of every US callsign, and copies later flew aboard Mir and the International Space Station. He registered the QRZ.com name in October 1993.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

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