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 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 1994

A volunteer-run archive of football statistics, in plain lists without commentary, from competitions around the world.

It is considered one of the most complete public football databases in the world. Readers of the newsgroup also voted its Player of the Year award from 1992 to 2005, and Ronaldinho won the last one.

In 1994: Created in January 1994 by three regulars of the rec.sport.soccer newsgroup, Lars Aarhus, Kent Hedlundh and Karel Stokkermans.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

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