What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2010

An open source web registry and message board where disaster survivors and their families post and search for news of each other.

Volunteer Google engineers built it after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It ran on Google App Engine, and its data format came from the 2005 Katrina PeopleFinder Project.

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

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