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 2011

An American live-streaming site where people broadcast to viewers and talk back and forth in real time.

Streamers sing, play games, dance or just chat. In 2015 most of its users were under 24, and by August that year it was handling 150,000 broadcasts a day.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
