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 1998
A section of Yahoo where members played games, on their own or against other people.
It launched on 31 March 1998, building on Yahoo's 1997 purchase of ClassicGames.com. Most of the US service closed on 31 March 2014 and the rest on 9 February 2016. Yahoo Japan still runs games of its own.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
