What it does
On reveal: +1 RAM next round.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
RAM is what you spend to play cards.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1990
A collection of 22 million words of written and spoken American English produced since 1990, built for language research.
Unlike searchable corpora that show only single sentences, the whole text is available to researchers. A 15-million-word subset is free to use, and a 500,000-word part is hand-checked in about 20 kinds of annotation.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
