What it does

On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 1998

A site for skyscraper enthusiasts that tracks existing and proposed tall buildings around the world, with a discussion forum.

Its diagrams are pixel-art drawings at one pixel to the metre, so buildings can be compared side by side. It is run from Victoria, British Columbia.

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.
