What it does
On reveal: Draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2002
The web browser most people used in the 1990s, made by Netscape Communications, which Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark started.
It showed pages while they downloaded, which made dial-up bearable. It added cookies, frames and JavaScript. Internet Explorer overtook it, and by about 2003 its users had almost gone.
In 2002: Internet Explorer now dominated Windows, and Netscape's users all but vanished by about 2003.
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.
