What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2011

A network of nonprofit news outlets whose articles are written by academics and shaped by professional journalist editors.

It launched in Australia in March 2011 and spread to editions around the world. Articles carry a Creative Commons licence, so others can republish them. It reported a 10.7 million monthly audience in September 2019.

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.
