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 2005
A free network for finding a place to stay with local hosts around the world, started in Koblenz, Germany.
Hosts were not allowed to charge. It had more than 400,000 members in 200 countries by 2008, but fell behind CouchSurfing after 2007, and the site was fully offline by April 2022.
In 2005: A disagreement between some members and the founder led to the creation of BeWelcome.
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.
