What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 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 1996
A Yahoo directory of child-friendly websites for ages 4 to 13, which began life as Yahooligans.
Introduced in March 1996, it was described as the oldest online search directory for children. Yahoo closed it on 30 April 2013 to put its effort into mobile apps.
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.
