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 2005

An American technology news site covering startups and high-tech companies.

Michael Arrington and Keith Teare founded it in 2005. AOL paid about $25 million for it in 2010. It later passed to Verizon, then Apollo, then Regent in 2025. It is also known for its Disrupt conferences.

In 2005: Founded in June by Archimedes Ventures, led by Michael Arrington and Keith Teare.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
