What it does

On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2006

A satirical website that claimed to sell tigers online and ship them worldwide.

After complaints from the animal rights group PETA, the person behind it admitted it was a hoax.

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.
