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 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2006

An online magazine for web designers and developers, full of articles, resources and advice.

Sven Lennartz and Vitaly Friedman launched it in 2006. Its SmashingConf events began in 2012, with two-day single-track talks in cities such as New York, San Francisco and Barcelona.

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.
