What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.

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.

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

The site, in 1999

A Turkish collaborative dictionary where users write entries on any subject, working more like a social network than a reference book.

The name means "sour dictionary". Sedat Kapanoğlu started it on 15 February 1999 as a corner of his site sourtimes.org, with a handful of users. It is one of Turkey's largest online communities.

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.
