What it does

On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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 humour site started by two college freshmen, Josh Abramson and Ricky Van Veen, with jokes, photos and links passed round by email.

Within three months it had over 600,000 visitors a month. They turned down a $9 million offer from eFront, and IAC bought 51% in 2006. It closed in 2020 when IAC withdrew funding, and the company is now Dropout.

In 1999: Created in December by two high school friends from Baltimore, Abramson at the University of Richmond and Van Veen at Wake Forest.

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.

Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
