What it does
On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 1 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 1997
The website of the Public Broadcasting Service, the American non-profit television network behind Sesame Street, Nova and Frontline.
PBS was founded in 1969 and serves over 350 member stations, many run by schools and universities. It is paid for by member dues, pledge drives, sponsors, donations and, until 2025, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
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.
