What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 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 2009

A news site from Qatar that began in March 2009 as a Twitter account, became a Tumblr blog and turned into a website in 2012.

American journalists Shabina Khatri and Omar Chatriwala started it. It was the first Qatari outlet to report the fatal fire at Villaggio Mall in May 2012. It was blocked inside Qatar in November 2016 and relaunched there in May 2020.

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.
