What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2000
The sports website of Sky, a division of Comcast, which also runs the rolling news channel Sky Sports News.
The Sky Sports News channel launched on 1 October 1998. The skysports.com website arrived in April 2000, when the channel briefly traded as Sky Sports.com TV, a name it dropped in July 2001.
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.
