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 1996

A news aggregator from Yahoo that gathers stories from outside publishers such as the Associated Press, Reuters and the BBC.

Created by Yahoo engineer Brad Clawsie in 1996, it only began producing its own journalism in 2011. It joined the White House press corps in 2012 and hired Katie Couric as global anchor in 2013.

In 1996: Created in August by Yahoo software engineer Brad Clawsie.

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.
