What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 5 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
A shared library of Creative Commons audio, from field recordings to synthesised sounds, uploaded by its users.
It holds more than 700,000 sounds and had 8 million registered users by 2019. Sounds can be tagged and browsed, and similarity search is powered by the open-source tool Essentia.
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.
