What it does

On reveal: Enemy cards cost 1 more to play here.

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.

Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.

The site, in 1998

An online plagiarism-checking service that compares student work with earlier submissions and with pages across the web.

Its maker iParadigms began in 1996, from an idea born at UC Berkeley. By 2025 Turnitin was licensed to over 16,000 universities and schools, with more than 71 million students. As early as 2006, Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Stanford chose not to use it.

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.
