What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 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 1995

A webzine that published new stories, interviews, games, music and art every day, each one built as its own design experiment.

Marisa Bowe edited it from its June 1995 launch, with Yoshi Sodeoka as creative director from 1996. Its staff made the online game SissyFight 2000, and the site is in the collections of SFMOMA and the Walker Art Center.

In 1995: Launched in June with Marisa Bowe as editor-in-chief.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
