What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
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.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 1996
The first web portal aimed at all of Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Latin America, co-founded by Fernando Espuelas and Jack Chen.
In 1997 it raised the first venture capital for a Latin American internet company and launched the free webmail LatinMail. In 1999 it became the first such company on NASDAQ, at its peak worth over $3.8 billion.
In 1996: Co-founded in August with $100,000 of savings, credit cards and loans from friends and family.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
