What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1993
A web page showing a live greyscale picture of the coffee machine in the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory's Trojan Room.
Quentin Stafford-Fraser and Paul Jardetzky aimed the camera at the pot in 1991 for the lab's own network; Daniel Gordon and Martyn Johnson put it on the web in November 1993. It was switched off on 22 August 2001.
In 1993: The live picture reached the web in November, the year web browsers gained the ability to show images.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
