What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1998
A London online fashion shop founded in 1998 by the Swedes Ernst Malmsten, Kajsa Leander and Patrik Hedelin.
After publicised delays it opened in autumn 1999, spent $135 million of venture capital in 18 months, and went into receivership on 18 May 2000. CNET later called it a great dot-com bust.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
