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 2006
A Japanese games portal and social network, owned by the company DeNA.
It opened on 7 February 2006 as Mobage Town and was renamed Mobage in 2011. By July 2011 it reportedly had 30 million users, mostly on feature phones. The name comes from Japanese slang for mobile games.
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 2006 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2006, then plays a short scene. Want Mobage in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
