What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.

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 2015

A language-learning app from Estonia that teaches vocabulary through quick, game-like sessions.

Daniel Farkas and Mark Szulyovszky made it in 2015, after their first app, LearnInvisible, struggled to keep users. Its languages include Native Hawaiian and Māori. Kahoot! bought it in late 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.
