What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2003

An Indian film website that tracks how much money Hindi films earn, with daily, weekly and lifetime box office figures.

Set up in 2003, it also covers other regional cinema in India, and is visited from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal as well. A new version of the site went live on 20 January 2014.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
