What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1995
A non-profit Hong Kong weather website directed by Clarence Fong Chi-kong, with radar and satellite views, a forum and a forecasting contest.
Its Chinese name means Hong Kong Underground Observatory, a nod to the official Hong Kong Observatory, which supplies most of its local data. It has drawn over 100 million views.
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.
