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 1999
A space and astronomy news website founded by Fraser Cain, a Canadian.
Its domain was registered on 30 December 1998 and the site went live in March 1999. In 2005 its forum merged with the one at Bad Astronomy to form the BAUT forum.
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.
