What it does
On reveal: Draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1997
A search engine where you typed a question in everyday English, with a valet called Jeeves as its mascot.
Garrett Gruener and David Warthen launched it on 1 June 1997, with the valet inspired by P. G. Wodehouse's servant. IAC bought it in 2005 and Jeeves was dropped in 2006. Ask.com shut down on 1 May 2026.
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.
