What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 1997

A British football news site with a chatty, joking tone, covering the Premier League and other European leagues and cups.

David Tabizel, an Arsenal fan, launched it in 1997 and took the name from a saying of his mother's about football all year round. By 2023 it ranked sixth among sports news sites in the UK.

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.
