What it does

On reveal: If you already have another Tech card here, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2012

A Swedish service that shows aircraft flying around the world in real time on a map.

Two Swedish aviation enthusiasts began it in 2006 as Flygbilligt.com. Volunteers with ADS-B receivers feed it, and media used it to explain the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull ash disruption.

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.
