What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 1998

A web magazine for people who build websites, with articles on design, code, content and web standards.

It began in 1997 as a mailing list run by Jeffrey Zeldman and Brian Platz, and the website followed in 1998. Ethan Marcotte's article of May 2010 gave responsive web design its name.

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.
