What it does
On reveal: Your opponent can't play here next round.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
A locked lane takes no cards next round.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2014
A framework for real-time collaborative editing online, begun at Google as Google Wave and handed to the Apache Software Foundation.
It set out to blend email, instant messaging, wikis and social networking in one place. Its name came from the series Firefly, where a wave is an electronic message, and its error messages were full of Firefly quotations.
In 2014: Google's own service had closed in 2012. Apache was building a server version, Wave in a Box, which never reached a full release.
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.
