What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1997

An aviation website with a large photo database of aircraft and airports, and a forum for enthusiasts.

The Swede Johan Lundgren Jr. began it in 1996 as Pictures of Modern Airliners. Demand Media, now Leaf Group, bought it in 2007, and it was redesigned in 2016.

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.
