What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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

A Vietnamese online newspaper run by FPT Group, which also publishes an English-language edition, VnExpress International.

It was the first newspaper in Vietnam with no paper edition. In 2020 its website had 10 billion views and more than 5 million comments.

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.
