What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 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 2008
A Yandex service that searched used-car adverts on hundreds of classified sites in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
It opened in April 2008. At the end it held about 800,000 adverts from some 300 sites and had over 2 million monthly users. Yandex let it go around the turn of 2016, after buying the car portal Auto.ru.
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.
