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 2008
A read-later service that saves web pages so you can read them on a phone, tablet or e-reader.
Marco Arment founded it in 2008. He sold a majority stake to Betaworks in April 2013, Pinterest bought it by 2016, and in August 2018 it passed to a new company, Instant Paper, Inc.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2008 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2008, then plays a short scene. Want Instapaper in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
