What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2015

An answer engine that solves maths problems and shows the steps.

An Israeli start-up, EqsQuest, built it and released it publicly in 2011. Course Hero bought it in 2020.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

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