What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 Dutch BitTorrent site where people shared and downloaded files.
It was once among the biggest torrent sites. In November 2009, after a Dutch court case, its operators deleted every torrent uploaded by ordinary users. It closed on 4 April 2017, saying it had run at a loss for some years.
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.
