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 1997

A service that tracks buses and trams by GPS and predicts when the next one will reach your stop.

Founded in 1997 in Emeryville, California, by Ken Schmier, Bryce Nesbitt and Paul Freda. By 2013 it ran in over 130 places, and Cubic Transportation Systems bought it that January.

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

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
