What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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 2007

A Yahoo tool for building mashups by wiring boxes together on screen to pull in feeds, web pages and other services.

You piped information from several sources through rules such as filters, then published the result as your own feed or small web app, without writing much code. It opened in beta on 7 February 2007, and Yahoo shut it down in 2015.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

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