What it does

On reveal: Draw 1 card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2006

A wiki database of kanji glyphs, where anyone can design a character shape and share it.

It opened on 1 October 2006 and is run by Koichi Kamichi, who teaches at Daito Bunka University. It holds over 500,000 entries, and its glyphs helped produce the large Hanazono Mincho font.

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.
