What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 European shopping portal where registered users wrote product reviews, rated each other's reviews, and compared prices.
Until December 2017, authors earned payments when other members read their reviews. It had sites in seven European countries and a US version from February 2008, and closed in February 2018.
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.
