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 2000

The website of the German sports TV channel Sport1, based in Ismaning near Munich.

The channel began on 1 January 1993 as DSF (Deutsches Sportfernsehen), replacing Tele 5. It took the name Sport1 on 11 April 2010, when it merged with the online portal sport1.de.

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.
