What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2016

A search engine for the animated GIFs saved from GeoCities, made by the Internet Archive.

It launched in October 2016, in the Internet Archive's 20th-anniversary year, with over 4.5 million GIFs pulled from the GeoCities rescue. Each result links back to the saved home page it came from.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
