What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1999
An online currency you bought or earned as credits and spent at partner internet shops, backed by Whoopi Goldberg in television adverts.
Started by iVillage co-founder Robert Levitan, it closed on 26 August 2001 after spending an estimated $35 to $50 million. Unused credits became worthless, and it is often cited as an early sign of the dot-com crash.
In 1999: Went online in February from New York City.
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.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
