What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1996
A web search engine and portal that began as a Carnegie Mellon University project, with a black Labrador as its mascot.
The name comes from Lycosidae, the wolf spider family. Over the years the company ran Tripod, Angelfire and HotBot, and Wired.com for a while.
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.
