What it does

On reveal: Draw 1 card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 Perl-based wiki application for running team portals, knowledge bases and document management inside organisations.

Peter Thoeny started it in 1998 as an open source platform. Plugins extend it. In 2008 much of its developer community forked it to create Foswiki.

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.
