What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2012

A directory of peer-reviewed open-access academic books, launched by the OAPEN Foundation in 2012.

It went live in beta in April 2012 with about 750 books from roughly 20 publishers. By 2020 it listed over 30,000 books from more than 400 publishers, and it has since become its own foundation.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
