What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Search card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2001
A free dictionary of where English words come from and how their meanings changed, written mostly by one man, Douglas R. Harper.
Harper started it in 2001 and it is still going. Talia Felix has been associate editor since 2021.
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.
