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 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 1993
An internet resource on modern and historic flags, run as an association, with readers sending in contributions by mailing list.
Giuseppe Bottasini, a computer engineer from Milan, started the website in 1995. Its flag images are GIFs 216 pixels high, a height chosen because it divides neatly into many different numbers of stripes.
In 1993: Began as an email list, two years before the website.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1993 page.
