What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2007

A site that gives away a different fully licensed program each day, free to download.

Each program is a full registered version, free for 24 hours, with no support or free upgrades. You had to install and activate it within the day. The site was already running by November 2006.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
