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.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2002

The part of Microsoft that dealt with developers and testers, and its website of documentation, forums and blogs.

It began in September 1992 as a quarterly CD-ROM for developers, and MSDN Online opened on the web in 1997. The main site came in 56 or more languages. Its pages now redirect to Microsoft Learn.

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.
