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 1998

Disney's web portal, set up after the company bought the search engine Infoseek.

It folded in ABC News and other Disney content, but people preferred plain search engines to directories. Like Time Warner's Pathfinder, it cost its owner dearly. By 2013 it was just a landing page.

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.
