What it does
On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 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 2012
A multiple-choice quiz game where each right answer donates rice through the United Nations World Food Programme.
John Breen, a programmer, built it to help his son study for the SAT. In its first ten months it donated over 42 billion grains. He gave the site to the World Food Programme in March 2009.
In 2012: Run by the World Food Programme, with the groups, rankings and achievements added in its September 2010 relaunch.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2012 page.
