What it does
On reveal: Your opponent can't play here next round.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
A locked lane takes no cards next round.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2004
A Russian web map service from Yandex, with directions, traffic reports and street panoramas.
The most used map service in Russia, with about 11.5 million users a month there. Its street views take in Pripyat and Chernobyl, and in 2016 it added one of Everest.
In 2004: Launched with maps of Russia and Ukraine only, detailed for Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Kyiv. You could search for businesses but not addresses.
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.
