What it does

On reveal: Draw 1 card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2005

A free online biographical dictionary of notable people from the history of Saxony, from the 10th century to today.

Run by the Institute of Saxon History and Cultural Anthropology in Dresden. By 2014 it held about 10,500 people, 1,250 of them with full biographies.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

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