What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 1999
A free web map of Hong Kong, built by the property agency Centaline.
It went live on 19 November 1999, with map data licensed from the government, and drew 100,000 page views a day within four days. In 2003 it became the first map service licensed to publish census data by building group.
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.
