What it does

On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2012

The BBC's on-demand service for catching up on TV and radio, free of adverts and paid for by the TV Licence.

Announced in 2003 as the Integrated Media Player, it opened as a beta on 27 July 2007 and left beta on 25 December 2007, offering the last seven days of programmes. In October 2014 that window grew to 30 days.

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.
