What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
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 2008
An English-language site reporting accidents and incidents in commercial aviation, run by the Austrian software developer Simon Hradecky.
Hradecky launched it on 12 May 2008 as a one-man project. By May 2018 it drew around 3.5 million visitors a month, and it had published over 25,000 items by January 2020.
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.
