What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2016

A globe you spin to tune in to live radio stations around the world, built as a non-profit Dutch research project.

The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision developed it from 2013 to 2016 with university partners. It offered nearly 8,000 stations in 2016, when it went viral, and over 40,000 by 2024.

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.
