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 1998

An online platform for guitarists, with user-submitted tablature and chord sheets plus lessons, reviews, interviews and forums.

Eugeny Naidenov started it on 9 October 1998. It offers free and paid tabs on its website and mobile app, is based in San Francisco, and is now part of Muse Group.

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.
