What it does

On reveal: +1 RAM next round.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

RAM is what you spend to play cards.

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 2005

A European press review, published by the German federal agency Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung.

Correspondents across Europe survey newspapers in 30 countries every day for opinion pieces. It can be read online or as a free email newsletter, and it was nominated for a Grimme Online Award in 2009.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

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