What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
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 1999
A global repository of educational content written by volunteers, free to download, remix and edit, founded by Richard Baraniuk in 1999.
It grew from a customisable textbook for Baraniuk's signals and systems course at Rice University. It became OpenStax CNX in 2014, and the platform was retired in June 2020.
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.
