What it does
On reveal: Draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 1995
The first wiki, a user-editable website started by the programmer Ward Cunningham so that programmers could swap ideas.
The name comes from the Wiki Wiki Shuttle bus at Honolulu airport, as wiki is Hawaiian for quick. Links were made by joining capitalised words. Vandals forced it read-only in December 2014.
In 1995: Launched on 25 March on c2.com, the website of Cunningham's company, alongside the Portland Pattern Repository.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1995 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1995, then plays a short scene. Want WikiWikiWeb in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
