What it does
On reveal: Destroy the strongest enemy card here with 7 or less Power.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
Destroy removes a card from the board.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 7 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 1996
The World Wide Web Consortium, the web's main standards body, where member organisations write the specifications for HTML, CSS and other web technologies.
Tim Berners-Lee founded it at MIT in 1994 after leaving CERN, with France's INRIA as its European host from 1995 and Keio University in Japan from 1996. Its specifications pass through drafts to become recommendations that browsers are meant to follow.
In 1996: Published PNG as a recommendation on 1 October and CSS level 1, its first style sheet standard, on 17 December; Keio University became its Asian host in September.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
