What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 2000
China's biggest search engine, started in Beijing by Robin Li and Eric Xu.
Its name means 'hundred times'. Li had built RankDex, a search tool that ranked sites by their links, in 1996. In December 2007 Baidu became the first Chinese company in the NASDAQ-100 index.
In 2000: Incorporated on 18 January by Robin Li and Eric Xu.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
