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 2002
A news and opinion site born in San Francisco, with articles on US politics, culture and current events from a liberal and progressive view.
Founded by the former Examiner editor David Talbot after a newspaper strike, it launched at salon1999.com. Time named it one of the best web sites of 1996, and it floated on NASDAQ in 1999.
In 2002: Salon Premium, begun in 2001, had signed up 130,000 subscribers. In November the company reported $80 million of accumulated losses.
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.
