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 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2001

A site that tracks Canadian paper money, most often $5 notes, as the bills pass from hand to hand.

The name refers to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the seventh Prime Minister of Canada, who is on the $5 note. It began as a spin-off of Where's George?, the United States dollar tracker.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
