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 1995
An online encyclopaedia of Scotland's places, people, events and history, with a searchable database and maps.
Bruce Gittings of the University of Edinburgh and David Munro of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society conceived it in 1995. It held 25,870 entries by July 2019, and includes the text of Groome's 1880s Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland.
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.
