What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards 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.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 1996

A technology news weblog on hardware, mobile computing, films, TV, video games and comics, founded in 1996.

It was run independently until 2007, when it was sold to Name Media. It then passed to Geeknet, and then to Ziff Davis.

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.
