What it does
On reveal: +1 RAM next round.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
RAM is what you spend to play cards.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2004
A French telephone advice service from Paris, later repositioned as an online marketplace for personal and consulting services.
In early 2004 it was a subsidiary of the telecoms firm Neuf Cegetel. By February 2012 it belonged to Vivendi and employed 80 people at its Paris headquarters.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
