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 2005

An internet company that auctions experiences and items to raise money for nonprofit organisations.

Founded in 2005, it had raised more than $550 million for charities by 2022. The lots range across music, entertainment, business, politics, sports, art and fashion.

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.
