What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
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.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 1998
A library of shareware and freeware downloads, where programs were rated with cartoon cows.
The name stands for The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software, and the first logo was two cow heads, a pun on two cows. It began in Flint, Michigan in 1993 and shut its downloads business in 2021.
In 1998: Owned by Internet Direct since 1996, with STI Ventures about to buy it in 1999. A popular place to download shareware and freeware.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1998 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1998, then plays a short scene. Want Tucows in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
