What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1998
A British technology news website, nicknamed El Reg, co-founded in 1994 by Mike Magee and John Lettice.
It began as an email newsletter called Chip Connection and became a daily news site in 1998. Magee left in 2001 to start The Inquirer. Its columns include Simon Travaglia's BOFH stories.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
