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 2003

An electronic news portal on Sudan and South Sudan and nearby countries, run from Paris by Sudanese and international journalists.

It carries news, analysis, official reports, press releases and maps. It says it had over 5 million page views in 2005 and more than 12 million in 2008.

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.
