What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2012

An American mobile app for ordering food ahead on college campuses, for pickup or delivery.

It launched in spring 2012 on five campuses and grew to over 200 across the US and Canada, where some students could pay with meal dollars. Grubhub bought it for about $150 million in 2018 and closed it in 2019.

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.
