What it does
On reveal: +1 RAM next round.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
RAM is what you spend to play cards.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2006
A free online information service begun in 2006, in which experts were to review and approve what experts and the public wrote.
Joe Firmage founded it in 2005. Larry Sanger was a director and helped launch its Encyclopedia of Earth, then left in late 2006 to start Citizendium. The site stopped working in 2019.
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.
