What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to your cards in other lanes.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2006

The website of the TED conference, which streams recorded talks on science, culture, business and global issues, free to watch.

Richard Saul Wurman and Harry Marks founded the conference in 1984. Putting talks online in June 2006 turned it into a media brand: by June 2011 the talks had passed 500 million views.

In 2006: In June the best-rated talks went online free under Creative Commons; by January 2007, 44 talks had drawn over 3 million views.

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

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
