What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2001

An international online news magazine on politics, society and culture in the Indo-Pacific, based in Washington, D.C.

It began in 2001 as an Australian print magazine, founded by Minh Bui Jones, David Llewellyn-Smith and Sung Lee, then went online-only in 2009. By 2020 it drew 2 million unique visitors a month.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

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