What it does
On reveal: +1 RAM next round.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
RAM is what you spend to play cards.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2001
A community for leaving books in public places for strangers to find, read and pass on, with each book's journey logged on the site.
The word reached the Concise Oxford Dictionary in 2004. BookCrossing.com won two Webby People's Voice awards in 2005 and, by February 2026, had over 1.2 million members in 179 countries.
In 2001: Ron Hornbaker had the idea in March, and BookCrossing.com launched on 21 April with Bruce and Heather Pedersen.
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.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
