What it does

On reveal: Draw 1 card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 5 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

A Polish web portal whose name means Virtual Poland, started in 1995 as a web directory and now the centre of a media company.

Marek Borzestowski and Leszek Bogdanowicz began it as a directory called Wirtualna Akademia. Its email service, Poczta WP, started in November 1998, and Orange Polska sold it to Grupa o2 in 2014.

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.
