/* ============================================================
   MEA Reviews — Category Cards
   Homepage block: four category cards (Casinos / Betting /
   Slots / Crash Games), each with a mini "top picks" preview
   and a "See Top" CTA.
   Light "tech / computer" themed, matching the site footer &
   breadcrumbs. Self-contained: no external CSS or JS.
   Tokens are scoped to .mea-cats so they won't clash with the
   rest of the site if the page defines its own :root vars.
