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 2014

A free, non-profit online news site in Hong Kong, covering social and political issues, from 2014 to 2021.

It was the successor to House News. Two Chinese University of Hong Kong surveys, in 2016 and 2019, ranked it the most credible online news outlet in the city. Police raided it on 29 December 2021 and it closed.

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.
