What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1996

A London-based online street map and directions site, a British favourite, that also offered aerial photos, local listings and booking services.

Its maps moved in steps when you clicked a link, a style later displaced by smoothly dragged 'slippy' maps. Microsoft bought it for $50 million in 2007 and merged it into Bing Maps.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
