What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 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 1993

A nonprofit cooperative that puts peer-reviewed bioscience journals from developing countries online, free to read.

It carries open access journals published in Africa, Asia and South America. Leslie Chan founded it. The University of Toronto Libraries look after it, and a Brazilian centre, the Reference Center on Environmental Information, runs the technology.

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.
