What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 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 1999

A collaborative online encyclopaedia founded by Douglas Adams in 1999, in the spirit of his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Members, called Researchers, write the entries, on everything from restaurants and recipes to quantum theory. The BBC ran it from 2001 to 2011.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

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