What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.

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.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 1998

A free tutorial site for learning web development, with code examples you can edit and run in the browser.

Despite the name, it has no link to the W3C. It is run by Refsnes Data in Norway, and its Tryit Editor lets you change an example and see the result at once.

In 1998: First released this year. The w3schools.com domain itself was not registered until 21 March 2000.

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.
