What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 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 2003
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 2003: Trading as Tucows after the 2001 reverse takeover of Infonautics. It sold eLibrary and Encyclopedia.com to Alacritude in August 2002.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2003 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2003, 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.
