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 1996
An American website for teenage girls, started as an online zine by Rebecca Odes, Esther Drill and Heather McDonald.
It covered advice, body image and sexuality, grew into a community, and gave out free email (Gurlmail) and web pages (Gurlpages). Delia's bought it in 1997. It ran until 2018.
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.
