What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 1995
A soccer website and daily US studio show, which has been broadcast on ESPN+.
It started in 1995 as a site called SoccerNet, and ESPN bought it in 1999. It was later known as ESPN SoccerNet, then ESPN FC. Its old web address now redirects to soccer news on ESPN.com.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
