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 1999
The original click-to-donate site: press a button once a day and advertisers pay for food donations.
Created in 1999, each click counts as the equivalent of 1.1 cups of food. It is a for-profit company, not a charity, and passes its ad revenue to chosen charities, including Feeding America and Mercy Corps.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
